Somehow, I deleted the alias to the OS 9 Desktop. How can I create another one?

I know it should seem simple, but I'm at a loss to find the OS 9 "Desktop" folder.

Thanks,

Chad

It should be at the root level of whatever partition your OS 9 install is on.

It's called "Desktop Folder" instead of just "Desktop," as in the one in your OS X home folder.

It's in the root of the harddisk where you have OS 9 installed.
Look for "Desktop Folder", and drag it where ever you want it while holding down "Apple" and "Option" keys. The shortcut will end up where you drag the "Desktop Folder", and the original should remain on its original location if you have done it right. Good luck!
