[QUOTE="cde_woods, post: 52514"] Yeah. It's the way the old Finder worked, as well as a lot of older file managers. Gnome (A Linux desktop) is [URL=http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/spatial-nautilus.html]trying to bring it back into style[/URL]. Also, a John Siracusa picks apart the Spatial Finder of Mac OS X in particular [URL=http://arstechnica.com/paedia/f/finder/finder-3.html#spatial-finder]here[/URL]. It's all quite trivial geek stuff, but I've been hooked on the basic "Spatial" concept for computer use. Also, I know about the "Simple Finder". That's a feature for non-administrative accounts to restrict them to particular folders. Not necessarily what I'm looking for. Upon further review, I don't think there's *any* way to lock the Finder in spatial mode. I'll just have to keep changing it manually every time I reboot, I guess. Thanks for the help anyway though, pals. [/QUOTE]
