Question

I have three questions...

How do I get to the Root of my Hard Drive. I need to go "outside" of just my user files. I have a file that sits on the root level of my Hard Drive.

Also, in "All Files" view, I have some files I don't want to show up there. How do I hide them?

And...I don't want to have a window view of my email. If I get an email that I think is Spam, I can't delete it without it loading. Then, It tells the Spammer that it's an active address and I just get more. I want to choose the email and then then decide, "read it" or delete it.

MacBook Pro Core i7, Matte Screen-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7)

Ok, I just answered the email question. Double click on the dividing line and the preview pane goes away.

If you mean get to the Root by the terminal, type: cd /

If you meant by the desktop, click on the icon of your hard drive and open it.

I don't think you can hide them, yet, but you can change how stuff shows up. Go to "All My Files" and use either Command-J or in the menu View>Show View Options and you'll be able to change how the files appear.

OK, I have solved the Hard Drive questions. In Finder preferences, I had "Hide Hard Disk" checked. I unchecked it, HD appeared on the desktop, and I drug it into my Favorites section, then hid it again.
