Dan, I can tell you how mine behaves, but cannot tell you why. Alright, I have on my desktop upper right corner the HD icon and the finder icon which sits in the dock. First the HD icon. It remembers what I set it to, either icon, list or that middle thing which shows the creation/modification of the file. It does this anytime I open it after either by purely closing, restarting or after a shut-down. I practiced several times to make sure. It opens on what it closes. Now when I click on the finder icon in the dock, or on the "go" in the menu bar, the side bar in all its glory shows up in the list view. I have the preferences set to "home", so that is what it shows first, but I set the preferences to the HD, to documents, it always shows up in the list view. If I change the view while working with it, after closing, shutting down or restarting, it goes back to the list view when opened again. Marta On Mar 31, 2004, at 20:03, Dan Crutcher wrote:
