Alias Assistant enables your Macintosh to automatically delete all the alias files associated with an original file when the original file is emptied from the Trash.

In System 7, users can create multiple desktop icons to represent a single document, application, or folder. One represents the actual original, but the others, called aliases, just point to it. This feature, for example, allows a user to keep an application located within one folder, but be able launch it by double-clicking on its alias from another location, such as the desktop. The alias is actually a separate file created and maintained by the Finder. However, if a user deletes the original file, the alias file still remains.

Alias Assistant remedies this problem by automatically deleting any alias files associated with a file (or folder) when it is deleted.
What's New:
  • fixes a problem in version 2.0.5 which would, under certain circumstances, cause a system crash when opening the control panel.
