Naw, it was that tough DI (Nick) who keeps making us do push ups! ;P
Well I do have a problem after switching. I can't "Delete" or "Move To Trash" anything in Finder. I just get a display with the cross hatch blue lines saying the item is being deleted. Never happens. And then the display of the file at top and the name of the file in Finder is out of sync.
Well excuse me! I put this in a thread that talked about problems with Mavericks which is exactly what I have. Not my fault that some of the reply were jokes. So if I had started another thread "mavericks" I would have been scolded for duplicating threads. Great, can't win for losing.
Your suggestion did work however. Thanks for that. Again, excuse me for asking a relating question in a relating thread, "Mavericks". I now know to always start a new thread regardless.
