TOPIC

    What settings are maintained in the Finder Preferences file?

DISCUSSION

    The following are stored in the Finder Preferences file:
    • Finder version
    • all settings from the Finder Preferences window except Label colors and names (which are kept in the System suitcase file)
    • location of the Trash
    • Trash warning flag
    • last window size and position for Clipboard, Copy windows, and the About this Computer window

    Mac OS 8.5 and later
    • location where Sherlock was last located so Command-F always uses the same application
