I believe they are just folders that "spring" open when you hover the mouse over them - nothing the blind would be interested in. I had the same question and turned to the help center for the answer. That's one of the things I'm starting to like about the Mac. It has a very thorough and fully accessible help system.

Subject: A couple of finder questions


What are spring-loaded folders. I have long wondered this and haven't found an answer. Also, I haven't seen anyone else post this, but since upgrading to ML, I cannot see all of my folders and files if I'm looking across the network. For example, I have a huge music folder on one of my Macs and a huge books folder on the other. On the Mac where the folder actually exists, I can see its full contents, but on one Mac looking at the other, I can only see the first 494 items. I have looked in the finder preferences and the system preferences, but if there's something I'm supposed to see there, I'm missing it.
