Hello again. I now have a question about the appearance of the folders in osx. Can folders be fixed with snapshots of pictures as a way of showing what's in them ala windows xp? Kinda got used to that view of folders.
I don't think that's what the OP was asking. Windows XP will put small thumbnails in the folder icon itself of the pictures contained within the folder.
AFAIK there isn't a way to do this in OS X, certainly not out of the box.
