It's a issue, that Is fixed in lion.
the fix for your second problem: go into the macintosh HD, and se the
view you wish to use.

OK, we got two really strange things going on here.
When I got my Macbook last Wednesday, and booted it up, and set it up
for the first time, I noticed something. There were no icons on my
desktop. Macintosh HD wasn't even there. I've sinse gone into the
finder preferences and set it to show hard disks, external hard disks,
CD and DVD's, IPods... ya know, pretty much everythiing except for
servers, as at this time at least, I dont' see that being necessary.
Anyway, what I am finding is I have the voiceover cursor set to follow
the keyboard kursor. Same goes vice versa. I also have it said for
the keyboard cursor to follow the voice over cursor. I don't think I
have the mouse following the voiceover cursor. In fact, I know I don't.
Anyway, when on my desktop, if I have more than one item up there,
like, say I have my portible external USB hard drive mounted to the
desktop, as well as my Macintosh HD. Well, what I find is happening,
which is so! wstrange! is that say I am on Macintosh HD, and right
below it is my Portible drive, and yes, that is literally the name of
its volume... Portible...
So what I see happens is it's really quirky about letting me go
between the two. If I'm on Macintosh HD, and I either down arrow, or
vo+down arrow, either/or, sometimes it'll focus me on my portible
volume, but other times it will either bwonk at me, and do nothing,
or, sometimes it'll clame! it's on the next icon down, which is this
example would be my portible volume, but then if I hit command+o to
open it, it's openning my macintosh HD instead of Portible like it
should be. I'm just so not getting this! I've never! ever! on anyone
elses Mac seen this issue. It's driving me nuts! trying to figure out
why it's doing that! One time, I even went as far as to put my IWorks
DVD in the drive, which is saw no problem, but it didn't mount to the
desktop. I wound up hitting eject on the keyboard, popping it out,
then sliding it back in, again, at which point, it mounted properly.
Is that? not the oddest thing?
So, that's my first problem. My second problem is, when I go into a
finder window, I am finding it always! regardless! sets itself to icon
view. I dono why, but I? hate! icon view. Ab, suh, lootly? hate it!
Again, I don't know why, but I do. I prefer collumn view. Well,
yeah, I can always just do command+3, no issues, but, why won't it
remember my settings across the whole system. Heck, it's not even
remembering it within one folder. Like, if I go to my home folder
from the desktop, hit command+3, then command+w to close that folder,
if I then do command+shift+h to bring it up again, it goes right? back
to icon view, making me all? over again, have to do command+3.
I've noticed this problem pretty much on every Mac I ever've played
with, so it's not an issue with my OS. Now, the other issue? I
haven't seen on any other Mac, however, reinstalling SL did no good.
I had a totally unrelated issue that due to my! stupidity, I had to
redo my system, but even before I redid it, the desktop was acting
really funny.
I dono, it's not that big of a deal, seeing I can go through a finder
window to computer, then browse to what I need, but, it is nice to
have the desktop, if I can use it.
