On my first IMAC, one could rebuild the desktop file.....how do you do it on a g5 imac? My computer takes a long time to boot up these days......any suggestions?

Hi matem(at)comcast.net,

What OS version are you running on your G5?

Regardless of the OS version, have a peep in:

MacintoshHD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disc Utility

Launch Disc Utility and Verify then Repair Permissions. Then Verify/Repair your Hard Disc and this might clean things up a bit to help your Mac boot up a bit faster.

Hi I have an OS 10.4.10
Thanks, I will give that a try....

Rebuilding your desktop is pre-osx operation, OSX has no such thing operation but as Max posted, repairing permissions, also checking the disk for errors is a good step to see if there's any issues.
