and often when I do spring loading, I get stuck with that view still, which is difficult to navigate in that mode, even though my default is back to list view. 
skunk said:And another thing, while we're on Finder Prefs: why is the icon for my "computer" an iMac? Is this a default, or have I mistakenly set it somewhere? And where is it? If I do a Get Info, I can't paste anything over it.
It works everywhere else, but not on the sidebar icon. There, I don't even get the option to paste over it.mkrishnan said:Are you talking about the Hard Disk on the desktop? If so, you should be able to click on the upper left little icon and hit delete to go back to the original icon. I have a picture of a hard disk outside of the casing as the default in my install.... And to paste in a new icon, you open both get info's, click on the upper left (little) icon from the target (what you want), copy that, and then click on the same little icon in the destination (where you want it) and hit paste. Does that not work for your hard disk? That's strange...
Is yours an iMac, too?mkrishnan said:Oh, I see...there's something strange about that icon / file -- I don't have write permissions for mine. I don't know where it's located. Also, did you notice it is *not* a hi-res icon?
But yes, same deal for me, Skunk. I cannot change it either.
