[QUOTE="6string, post: 907561, member: 120039"] I'll leave out all the actions that I have stated above, and just put down the one scenario.... If I open the finder window, and mouse over my user name in the left hand pane, which in the contents has folders appearing as follows: Desktop Documents Downloads etc and decide to copy my documents folder to the desktop (with all off its contents), all I have to do is drag it to the desktop, and it copies it with all of its contents, without me having to hold the option key to do this. *it doesn't move it, it copies it! Where as, if I open that documents folder in the finder, and want to copy a document from the folder onto the desktop, then I have to hold the option key while dragging it, otherwise, it just moves the document! By the way, I checked with my mother, who has a slightly older MB than mine, and the same behaviour happens on her MB too! [/QUOTE]
