This control panel performs the exactly same the same function as the "Secret Finder Features" extension except that it is user-configurable (Personally, I like the Finder Zooms)
Beginning with Finder 7.5.4—System 7.5.2. and up—Apple added a couple of features to the Finder, but did not enable them, apparantly for want of testing. They are:
Control-Drag an item to make an alias to it
Command-R to Reveal the original item of an alias
Command-Delete Moves selection to the Trash
Enable/Disable the zoom rectangles when opening/closing windows and gridding
To enable these features, just drag Hidden Finder Features to the control panels folder and open it. The zoom rectangle and command-delete options will take effect immediately. You will need to restart in order for the alias options to take effect.
This control panel does not install any conflict-inducing patches, it simply enables features that were already in the Finder.
Thanks to Ross Olson for providing the nice looking icons
