Thanks, If you see my post in the "Switchers" forum you'll see why I didn't move it with the mouse. I'm a new Mac user and couldn't figure out how to view /Users/Shared in the Finder. Anyhow, it appears to have moved the contents of the directory, correct? What should I do now? Should I...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like an idiot... It's that Windows mentality engraved in my brain. I never double-click "My Computer" on my windows desktop, I just click the "Windows Explorer" shortcut I have on my taskbar, so I was repeating the same task I perform in Windows without even thinking...

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. I had been just clicking the Finder icon in the dock and did not see an option for Users. I guess double clicking the boot HD gives me a different view? Is it still a Finder window? As for the hiding, I understand what you are saying about hidden files...

Thanks to all for the quick replies. Is there a way to turn on the "show file extensions" permanantly. I see where I can show the extension on a file by file basis, but that gets old pretty quick. I guess this is the Windows side of me wanting to see this as I'm used to it. I also see...

Just bought a new 20" iMac this weekend. Been a PC as well as Unix user for the last 16 years. Now I'm struggling with some of the basic interface differences. I'll throw some starter questions I have from playing around this weekend out. Appreciate any help. 1. How do I get at the...
