A possible workaround that works for me sometimes. Before you open the drive or folder, turn off VO, use command O to open the drive or folder, then turn VO back on.

So assuming I have to get a way to fake out my Mac Mini in thinking there is a monitor connected, is there any way to use Dropbox on this box until I can find the necessary hardware? I find it amazing that that app alone would cause the Finder to go into the mud and get "busy" all the time no matter what folder I try and go into. Reminder: as soon as I kill or disable dropbox from running, it gets all good again. Any other ideas?
