mac os X problems
May 18, 2005 3:36 PM Subscribe
I have two niggling little problems with my mac. First, the screensaver comes on when my mac is idle. I know about my control panels, and the screen saver is, and always has been, set to never. My desktop pic also changes at startup and it too is set to never. Also, when I drag a picture from a website to my desktop, using safari, I get a jpeg icon on my desktop. When I use explorer, the image is a viewable thumbnail. Upgrading to Tiger didn't help. Any ideas?
Response by poster: Wow, that was easy! Many thanks c.b.

By the way, Preferential Treatment is a small (367k download) AppleScript app for OSX that will scan your preference files for corruption.

For the last part, click the desktop and then select Show View Options from the View menu, and tick Show icon preview.
