[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1543268"] Aleese, I'm not sure what "back click" means in your post, but based on your earlier thread and comments I would suggest you do one of two things: 1. Sell the Mac. It's not going to work the way you want it to and you will never be happy with it. OSX is not windows. OSX doesn't work for everybody. Not everybody can, or wants to, make the transition away from Windows thinking. For example, in your second point about wanting to see the size and date of a file in the transfer window, Finder will show that data in the List view for you, but it won't show when you decide to move a file from one folder to another. The assumption is that YOU looked at the data and have made that decision. It does give you a warning if the file has the same name, but it's up to you to check in Finder to make sure of what you are doing. That's not wrong, just different. May be wrong for you, but I like it. That's why there are choices in this universe. 2. Reformat the HD and install Windows to run natively, abandoning OSX. You'll have all of the virus/malware downsides of Windows, but you'll have great hardware on which to run it and all of your favorite utilities will work just fine. I know several folks who have done just that and are very happy with their decision. That's an expensive solution, too, as you may be able to find a cheaper Windows box that runs well enough for you. But again, that is why there are choices in this universe. If you want to keep OSX and play with it to see if you can make it work better, you could use BootCamp to install Windows as a dual-boot solution and boot to Windows for your work, and OSX for whatever else you may want to do. BC is free, it's already on your Mac. You just need an installable copy of Windows. [/QUOTE]
