[QUOTE="spaull, post: 1085885, member: 166104"] Hey man, I had the same problem. I switched over to a mac and couldn't get the folders on top no matter which way i arranged the files. I've had a look on other forums, and I've only found one easy way to fix this: Open Terminal and paste the following into it: sudo vi /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings then -type in your password if you need to -type 'a' (this allows you to edit) -edit so line 7 reads "Folder" = " Folder"; (there's a space before the second 'Folder') -press escape -type ':w' to write the changes (you may need to write ':!w' instead if it's read only) -type ':q' to quit Then reopen Finder and it should be fine - I tried everything else and this was the only thing that actually worked Good luck [/QUOTE]
