every now & then, when i boot up in 10.4...
i find a "recovered items" folder in the trash.
just like the old days! feels like 8.6 (or something)
anyone know what this is? why it is happening (never in 10.2 or 10.3)
and what to do about it?

Those are temporary files that applications create. An application is supposed to delete temporary files when it doesn't need them any more, but if it fails for some reason, OS X now recovers them like the classic Mac OS did. You can delete them.

I have also had this issue with 10.4
I installed Growl through Adium, and then removed it before installing Tiger but I feel as if I did something wrong in my install process. So now I can install Growl again through Adium and it will run fine, but every time I restart I get recovered files in the trash. This is probably fairly random problem but if anyone had any thoughts that'd be great. I uninstalled Growl and did an RM in the terminal on the files located in the trash. All is fine since (though no Growl). I suspect I need to do a better/cleaner uninstall of Growl and then reinstall it from Adium. Who knows. Sorry for rambling, just thought I'd get my two cents in here.
Long story short, RM the files from command line and see if that works. Be careful as always.

I started getting the recovered files as well on a G4 powerbook w/ 10.4.1. The one thing I noticed was that at the same time Automator starts running at startup w/ out any workflows or scripts from myself.
Has anyone else had automator running at boot w/out telling it to? If not, then what is it doing?
Please advise.

I get the "Recovered Items" almost everytime I restart my MB 2ghz with 1.4.8.

The thing to do is to say
"empty trash"
and the files, which are temporary items no longer needed, go away!
It's as simple as that.
