10.5: Use Automator to create 'sticky' folder views
Authored by: demiphonic on May 13, '09 05:34:25PM

Stupid question but:

How do I disable or turn off these Apple script commands so that everything is back to default?

Related problem: I believe (guessing here) that this script could be affecting the 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 update.
Why? Apple's site says:
"You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)"

Therefore I believe this Apple script (among other system changes) caused my download to stall & receive a message saying that:
‘Apple signature did not match & that the package contents may have been tampered with between Apple & myself.'

I can only assume that those system changes affected my update. So how do I turn off those custom Apple scripts you showed us?

Other system changes I made (just for reference):
Changed the Dock & Application Indicator Lights with the "killall Dock" Terminal command.
Changed all Folder colours from default blue to Tan with FolderTeint.
Installed iTunes plug-in "I Love Stars"

Since the mechanism to install user Applescripts like this one is blessed by Apple, I don't think this could be the cause of whatever problems you encountered in updating your OS X system software. I have this installed on my system and had no such problems in updating to 10.5.7. However, if you want to remove it and any other user installed Applescripts just navigate to the Library folder in your home folder and drag the "Scripts" folder to the trash. Be sure you are doing this in your home folder and not in the Library folder at the top level of your boot drive.
