Prev: Will An Alias Work In An iTunes Media Subfolder ?

I happened to spot a folder icon with the same name as my boot drive,
HD. I do not know how it got created.

I should point out that my vision is limited. Moreover, I am trying to
get Lightweight IDE to work, so some hidden corners of my computer may
have been examined.

When I double clicked on the HD folder, I got the same display of files
as if I had clicked HD volume. It was as if the HD folder were an alias
for the HD volume. Later on, I created an alias for the HD volume and
got an alias with a hard drive icon, not a folder icon.

I got information from the HD folder and found it to be empty. I warily
moved the folder to the trash. The HD volume seemed to work well. So,
perhaps foolishly, I emptied the trash. Everything seems to be OK.

Although my immediate problem with the HD folder is solved, I still am
antsy that such a peculiarity arose. Although it is not worth much
thought, I am always surprised by some of the arcane knowledge tucked
away in the brains of posters lurking here. How can such a thing have
happened?
