Hey guys, I was browsing ResExcellence looking for some new icons and wallpapers. The problem is that whenever I download the file from the site in the form of a .sit file, it unpacks to be an empty folder. Am I doing something wrong?

Finder has a flaw it that it won't display the contents of an unpacked folder until you relaunch.

Relaunch Finder and everything will be in that folder. :mac:

is there an easier way to re-launch finder, besides restarting the computer?

Yes, there is. Go to the Apple icon, Force Quit, and you can relaunch the Finder from there.

Right clicking the Finder icon doesn't offer a Relaunch option. At least not on my Powerbook.

The best/easiest way to do it is:

Command+Option+Escape

Select Finder, click Relaunch.
