Changing Default Location of Finder

RogersDA · Nov 14, 2009, 05:52 PM

Running Mac OS 10.6.1

I changed the account preferences (in the System Preferences) so that the username is pointed to Data/users/username

The Finder icon in the dock still opens to to Programs/users/username, even after rebooting. All other apps appear to be using Data/users/username for saving files and other stuff.

How do I change the Finder on the Dock to open to Data/users/username?

Ahh.....as the prefs showed Username (unknowingly linked to the old drive) already I didn't think to choose Other....

Thanks.
