| 2 |
Choose "Attach a Folder Action" from the menu. |
| 3 |
Select the script you want to attach in the dialog box. |
WARNING: If you aren't sure about the source of a script, don't use it. Use only scripts that you write yourself or have acquired from a reliable source.

| 1 |
Hold down the Control key and click the folder's icon. |
