[X4U] Finder Question

[Christopher Collins]

This makes no sense at all. If you are going to delete a file, then  
you need the folder open to be able to delete it. If I do a search in  
spotlight, I then click on the right file and a finder window opens in  
the right folder so I can work with the file. Then I close the finder  
window. Job Done.

Why would you want it to work any other way?

Also the Path Bar on a Finder window is a "Switch On" option. Make  
sure you are in the Finder with "Finder" listed in the Menu Bar, click  
on "View" then "Show Path Bar". Then it will show up in all Finder  
windows. People that automatically turn it on when they reformat  
forget that some of these options are switched OFF by default.
