[QUOTE="Macman, post: 98977, member: 7132"] its also a good idea not to save items and such to the desktop, but in folders in your hd instead, if you want folders on the desktop, make aliases and place them on the desktop. one big reason is hat the desktop, along with other setting are partially stored in pram, if your computer shuts down suddenly, say from a power outage, all that stuff on your desktop will be gone 90% of the time and not be recoverable. another option is the dock and toolbar, you can add folders to the dock by the trash can and folders to a toolbar and those show in any open finder window, also the sidebar of finder windows is a good place to put folders, they're meant for this. but the view option "arrange by: your choice" should work.
