Simple OS question

[efedor]

Excuse the dumb questions, I wanted to know two things. How can I tell Leopard to open the files in full window instead of a small window which it seems to open in all the time and I have to manually stretch the screen. Second I have a movie collection in my external drive and would like to make a list of my movies, Problem is, I cant take my computer to work but I would like to take a picture or copy the titles into a file and then copy it into my PC.Thank you for your time and teaching me.

There is no easy way to maximize every window, and there is really no point to it either ... you have to drag every one to full screen if that is what you want. OS X is designed around not having every window maximized.

For the second part:

First, open Automator and from the list of Finder Actions, double click on Get Selected Finder Items (or drag it from the Action list to the right side of the window). Then, double click on Get Folder Contents, and finally, double click on New Text File from the list of TextEdit Actions.

For more flexibility, under the New Text File action's options, check Show Action When Run and Show Selected Items with both Save As and Where options checked. The Finder will in return, ask you where to save the file and how to name it.
