Also, if it's a network volume that disallows those .DS_Store files (as I've set on our Samba shares..my boss once came to me really worried, thinking that all our servers had been compromised with these invisible files all over...I"m the only Mac user in our office) this is the default state of newly opened network volumes. My suggestion (which just came to me) is to write a small Applescript closing all finder windows that runs after your volume mounts in your startup items. I'm really rusty in AS, but I'll look into it...this is something that annoys me, too. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
