I like to select auto-gridding and medium-size icons for listed views from the Control Panel. However, every time my machine restarts, that information gets sent via Appletalk, thru a Ethernet gateway, onto the Internet, and into lunar orbit. (ie, it resets to the defaults.) How come my prefs aren't sticking?

On the subject of views, I'm dissapointed that you can't sent up different views for different folders. I'd like to see disk space for my main disk folder, but not for other folders. In some folders I don't care about dates, but I still want a list view, in others I want the dates, etc. Oh well, maybe this feature will be added when they finally get around to adding preemptive multitasking. :-) ---Todd -- Todd R.

If I trash the Preferences folder and put a document with name Preferences into the system folder, the Finder can't access the preferences file and won't save the settings. So look if the preferences folder exists and if the finder preferences file is in and not locked. If it's locked, the finder won't save the settings, too.
