[QUOTE="MacShane, post: 1175067, member: 159792"] Please don't take this the wrong way, but it always kind of amazes me how so many people will switch from Windows (usually because they are fed up with it) to Mac and then come here asking questions about how to make their new Mac work like Windows or complain that their Mac doesn't work like Windows. It's not Windows. There is actually a method to Apple's madness, if you will, and it's almost always better (I have found) to actually try to figure out and read about the way Macs are designed to run. Give it some time and you will come to see that most of how a Mac works actually does make good (imo better) sense. Sure there are programs out there to force your Mac to look and run with more "familiarity" but why? If you want Windows, why didn't you buy a Windows machine? Some people seem to have the misconception that Macs are just a better running, more efficient PC clone. They aren't. They are a totally different animal and designed to interface with you, more intuitively and more efficiently. So, instead of loading and running a bunch of programs to try to beat your Mac into submission, so to speak, why not take some time to get more familiar with your Mac and get yourself used to the design, instead of the other way around?
