Marta: Yours works the way mine used to -- and that it's supposed to. I suspect there's some preference file somewhere that I need to delete, or that's not getting created or saved.
The first time I open my HD icon, it's always in icon view, regardless of the view it was in when I last shut down or logged out. Anyone know which preference or plist file contains the information on Finder window view modes? > Dan, I can tell you how mine behaves, but cannot tell you why. > Alright, I have on my desktop upper right corner the HD icon and the > finder icon which sits in the dock.
