- The way to fix viewed-by-small-icon-but-now-large-icon windows is to
- select all, drag them to the desktop, select the window again, change it
- to View By Small Icon, select the icons on the desktop, and drag them
- back into the window.

- But that still doesn't answer the question. Come on--_someone_ has to
- know what's going on here. Any of the MacDTS guys want to comment?
