How do I get Finder to act like Explorer

Finder>View>Arrange By>Name = Folder sorted alphabetically.

Also

Finder>View>as Icons/as List/as Columns/as Coverflow can aid finding what you want when using File Open.

Why don't you try using Path Finder 6.0.4 instead of the Finder or installing TotalFinder 1.3.4.

Open two windows.

Use List view or Column view

For sorting / arranging, there are two options on the same menu/button.

- The first option is arrangement, which groups items.

- The second is sorting, which is accessed by holding down the option key.

- With arrangement set to none, you can sort by clicking on the column headers in List view.

Show the sidebar.

- put default starting points there, like Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc.

- you can start from those to get most anywhere quickly

Know the Path? Type cmd-shift-g and type the path (~/) starts in your home folder.

Turn on spring loaded folders in Finder Preferences. When you drag something onto a folder in the finder, it will spring open and you can dig down that way.

Command-double-click on a folder will open it in a new window.

The Finder Go menu commands work in the Open File dialogs.

Dragging an image from iPhoto or a music file from iTunes onto the open file dialog will take you to the file location in the Finder (useful for attaching images to emails, etc.).

I understand how you feel. I can't figure out Explorer.

Kappy, could you help me here?
