[QUOTE="lunchbill, post: 672783, member: 35767"] Well, this *seems* to have fixed itself after about 10 forced restarts. I jumped in and opened about four applications on one restart before it had a chance to freeze and that seems to have somehow woken up the finder. All is working now. Still, it weirds me out and I'm a bit frightened to restart. Worried there are some corrupted files lurking. Where can I find "verify/repair permissions and disk"? I've only used it once before and that was ages ago, so I can't remember where it lives. --- Also, regarding deleting the Finder preferences file, what other ramifications will that have? I guess I would have to re-set any finder preferences...but anything else I should be aware of before I do it? [/QUOTE]
