[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1000942, member: 112842"] Yes, I see the problem. I don't know how you got a copy of the file onto your Desktop from Spotlight though. What happens when you highlight a file in that Preferences folder and right click on it? In my case, the filename is revealed in the contextual menu. What happens when you highlight a file in that Preferences folder and hit space bar? For me, that invokes QuickLook, and the file name appears at the top of the window. Perhaps you could find the plist file through one of those (rather tedious) methods. At this point I'm not sure you moved it out of Preferences. If not, restarting did nothing. It's supposed to create a new plist file if there isn't one already. (On mine, in Icon View, arranged by Kind, with five icons per row, the finder.plist file is down in the 8th row.) [/QUOTE]
