[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 408310, member: 3889"] When you grow more comfortable with the Mac, search the web for applescript primer or words to that effect. AppleScripts (the Script Editor's English is U.S.) can be very complicated or very simple, but it can perform useful tasks even if you don't use all its complications. Knowing a little about AppleScript helps with Automator, too. Paste this into Script Editor and click Run: display dialog "Macs misspell dialogue." buttons "OK" default button "OK" Or this one that I use all the time, so a new folder doesn't display the icon view. tell application "Finder" make new folder at folder "Desktop" of folder "your log-in name here" of folder "Users" of startup disk with properties {name:"Empty Folder"} make new Finder window to folder "Empty Folder" of folder "Desktop" of folder "your log-in name here" of folder "Users" of startup disk set current view of Finder window 1 to list view set toolbar visible of Finder window 1 to false close Finder window 1 end tellIf in Firefox, for example, you drag the bottom right corner to fill the screen, the green button at the top left will toggle the page between the page's default size and full-screen.
