I open twenty files for every one I rename, yet rename get the easy shortcut. 3) Why do we have universal volume control and volume controls within apps? Why not just one? Maybe there's a reason for this, I dunno... I'd love to hear an elaboration on what exactly is wrong with the Finder and what to do about it. » POSTED IN:
