Applications Do Not Work Automatically If Utilities Folder Is Renamed

If you rename the Utilities folder in OSX, applications contained in that folder will not open automatically when called by other processes.

- Symptom

Any process that would normally make automatic or transparent use of items in the Utilities folder may fail.

Printing from an application, for example, fails without an alert when the path to the Print Center is not found.

- Solution

1. Select the folder formerly named Utilities.
2. Choose Show Info from the File menu.
3. In the name field of the Info window, change the name back to Utilities.
