[QUOTE="technologist, post: 77658, member: 4134"] 1. In Safari, [b]View > Home[/b] should be checked 2. In the Finder, [b]View > Clean Up[/b]. To make this automatic, choose [b]View > Show View Options[/b] and check "Snap to grid" 3. Drives mount on the desktop, and disappear when you eject/unmount/disconnect from them. If a disk is not available (mounted) then no icon will appear. This prevents the kind of "Drive not ready" errors you get under Windows. 4. You're probably talking about disk images. Disk images are "wrapper" disks that are used to distribute software. You load the image, copy the software to your HD, eject the image, and then delete the .dmg file. ([b]Moderators, we need a sticky about these! How many questions does it take?!![/b]) 5. Usually, the Desktop. You can change the folder in Safari Preferences (General). 6. See item #4 above. Or search for "disk image" in the forum. It comes up often; it's a very unnatural setup.( [b]MODS! PLEASE![/b]) [/QUOTE]
