Way back in OS 9 - I could go to a Finder window in list view, and let's say inside the window was a bunch of sub folders ... At this point I could click: Command - A = select all Command - option - LEFT ARROW = compact all folders This also works in Panther 10.3.9 however the next time I open a window it does not remember where was last left ... And all the folders are open again. The only way to get them all closed is individually click the triangle on each sub folder manually ... Yuck! In OS 9 - it used to remember how we last left it ... Question: is there some way to do this ( get it to remember where you last left it would be above keystrokes or something like it) in Panther 10.3.9? -- Thanks - RevDave CoolCat at hostalive.com [db-lists]
