How can I remove a JPG file from Places?

I've just noticed that in the Finder windows, under Places, there is a jpg file. Obviously that's not a Place and I can't recall how it got there. But that's not important; I just want to remove it. I tried dragging it to the Desktop and to the Trash, but that didn't work. I suppose the items in Places are actually aliases stored somewhere. Can you tell me where and how to delete that one? (I'm comfortable editing plist files, if that's where it is.)
Thanks,
Rob
P.S. My profile says I'm running 10.6.4, but it's actually 10.6.8, just updated this morning.

Rob,
That's a change that started with 10.6.7.   Makes it harder to delete items accidently.  Also makes it harder to delete items on purpose when the change happened..

  • How can I remove a downloaded file from the desktop?

    Hi,
    I downloaded an install Internet Call Director exe file from my internet privider then was told that their system couldn't run on Mac OS 10. There are two files on my desktop that I can't remove. When I drag either one to the trash i get this message. "the item installICD.EXE is being used by another task right now.(Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the trash.)" There is nothing else running. I have tried renaming the file,Clearing the download manager, and anything else I could think of. The files will not open and will not delete even using CMD delete. I am not a computer person! How can I get rid of the files??

    If you haven't already done so, change the filenames so that they have an extension of .rtf, and then open TextEdit. Overwrite both files with blank TextEdit documents and then throw away the TextEdit documents.
    If the TextEdit method doesn't work, open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
    tell application "Finder"
    set file type of (selection as alias) to "1234"
    end tell
    Select the file in the Finder and run the script. Repeat this for the second file; when done, try throwing them away again.

  • How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?

    How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?
    I generated the file in Robohelp HTML 9.
    As far as I know it's used when you've combined more than one source into the final help file. It is possible (though I don't remember doing it) that I did that once a couple of years ago but now I'm only using one source - the project that's generating the .chm.
    Can anyone tell me how I can remove it?
    Thanks
    Tom

    In Project Setup look at the Window properties. I think you will find Advanced Search is ticked.

  • How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?

    I am in the Moment working on the Development of an Express VI
    library for test purposes.
    How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?
    This happens when the Express VI is inserted in the blockdiagram
    and listed in LabVIEW and TestStand Palettes.
    By short names like "DAQ-Assistent" or "EasyCalc" the string " Source.vi"
    is not shown at the end of the Express VI names.
    I used The Express VI Dev Toolkit 1.0 to create the Express VIs.
    Labview Version: 7.1 Base
    TestStand: 3.1
    It would be great to get the expert advice from the Forum for this issue!
    Thanks a lot.
    Andre

    I think I understand what you are asking for. If I am wrong, please try to explain it a bit more.
    The name shown may be different than the name of the vi file. To do this, your source VI and popup on its icon. From the short menu that comes up, select VI properties. In the top ring, select Window Appearance. The page that comes up lets you set various things that can affect the appearance of the VI. What you want to change is the window title. Uncheck the Same as VI name checkbox and change the string to whatever you want it to be.
    I hope that this helps,

  • How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

    How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

    Drag it to the Trash.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

    In iTunes with your iPhone connected, click on the iPhone device, select the Apps tab, scroll down to the File Sharing section and pick an app that plays Quicktimes ("Files Connect" works in this example, but I'm open to suggestions of better apps for playing transferred Quicktimes) and drag your Quicktime from Finder to the Documents pane for the File Sharing app.   Once the file transfer is complete, go to the app on your iPhone to play the Quicktime.
