Finder keep it open the file even after I change the default folder

I have the problem with the default folder in the finder.

A few months ago, I changed the default folder from the finder to a specific folder. Now, I want to change to the new folder. I already go to finder > Preferences > General > new poster finder window and change the folder, but whenever I click on the finder on the dock for the first time, keep the change back to the old folder. What should I do with this?

Thank you for the help

HI there Alia80,

Looks like you set your Finder preferences to open a specific folder when you open a new window, but it seems to keep coming back to what it was previously set to. I would first start safe mode and if some system-level caches can be erased, and a check disk and repair is done automatically:

Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

Once you log in safe mode, let him by making a normal restart and test the issue again.

If it persists after this test this point in a new admin on your computerand user let me know what is happening there:

OS X El Capitan: set up users on your Mac.

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • Why MS never decided that the default folder options / "Hide extensions of known file types" should be active?

    original title: a Question about the names of file/folder options

    I have a generic question that apply for all recent versions of Windows.

    Why MS never decided that the default folder options / "hide known file extensions.

    types of files"should be active?

    If file extensions invisible brings no end of confusion to anyone trying to resolve anything.

    The first thing I advise in various forums troubleshooting

    must * allow * file extensions.  That is so my question - why MS never chosen

    Let them invisible by default?  It seems a strange decision - and cause no end of

    confusion.

    Because there are a few users who would be accidentally when trying to rename a file change or remove the extension and in doing so the file would not open.  If this post answers your question, click mark as answer .

    I am running Vista Home Basic. When I click on the Start button, click programs, right-click the startup folder, and then clickOpen it does not open the startup folder. Instead, it opens a search window Active legends. How can I fix?

    Go to the startup folder and right-click on it and click Proprties and then click on the location and enter C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.  Click OK.  When you click Open the next time it should now open the folder that corresponds to your startup folder.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot open the c: folder or all folders

    Hello. I had this problem but I don't ever mind so far. I downloaded new fonts to use on photoshop, and when I try to copy and paste them into the folder of fonts as I used to do, I can not simply open any folder once I open the c: drive. When I try to open the windows folder or the folder programs is gives me an error that windows Explorer has stopped working. I then click on the check online for a solution and restart the program, and then try again, same problem.  I am a designer of Web site using different fonts is so important to me so can you tell me how to solve my problem or another way to install my new fonts. Thank you in advance for the help...

    daydream305,
    I don't think it's just a matter to install fonts, your system has damaged files, as found by the System File Checker, and you are unable to open the folders on your hard drive.  This will cause you problems more and could get progressively worse over time.  It should be fixed.  Is what kind of computer?  It is possible that there the recovery on the hard drive partition - most of the manufacturers not providing the operating system on DVD, put it on a special partition on the hard disk where you can either run recovery off the hard drive or make a backup of the operating system, depending on the configuration they it upward.  Here's how to know if you have installed on your hard drive recovery partition.  If you have not previously installed on your computer, it would be wise to buy it.  Or you can upgrade to Windows 7 Relase Candidate 1 for free, however, this is a pre-release version so not recommended for your computer, especially if used for business.  You can see Windows 7 here: http://windows.microsoft.com/

    If the Startup Repair tool is an option of recovering preinstalled on your computer:
    1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.
    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

    2. hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    3. in the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select repair your computer and press ENTER. (If repair your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer does not repair the startup as a preinstalled recovery option)

    4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

    5. Select a user name and password, and then click OK.

    6. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem and, if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.

    I hope this helps.  Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

    This storage folder are you referring? If you are referring to the film, what happens because you have accepted a trust between the iOS device and the computer. If the device has been connected to another computer, it must be unlocked and establish a relationship of trust as well. If you are referring to something different, please explain.
