Can I change where on the desktop a file opens?

Is it possible to control where a file opens on the desktop?
I have one file that I use a lot and I always want it on the right side of the screen but it always opens on the left and I have to drag it over. Is there a way to make the finder remember where I want it?
Thanks, David

Cambook,
It isn't a folder causing the problems, it's a Text Edit file that I keep on a flash drive and use all the time. The folder does remember where it was previously, but when I open the text edit file it opens just exactly where I don't want it to be and have to move it every time.
Any ideas? Thanks, David

  • Can I change where on the screen the "get info" display pops up?

    Can I change where on the screen the "get info" display pops up? I have dual 23" cinema displays and the Get Info box always pops up inconveniently on the far, far left. Is there a way to change the default location, more towards the middle, where it would fit better into my work flow?

    treetopstudio,
    I'm not sure to change the default of Get Info but what you could do is open the Inspector instead it 1 remembers it location when you close it and 2 when you click on another icon in finder changes to that. To open it instead of the get info window Option + Command + i or hold Option and click File show Inspector.
    Hope that helps,

  • Where are the desktop & screensaver files stored?

    One of my apples is running Mac OS 10.5.8. In its choice of desktop scene from "Nature", there is a beautiful "Golden Palace." I like the picture very much and want to use it for other Apple computer, which do not have the picture. Where can I locate the picture and copy it to other Mac computers?
    Thank you very much.

  • Where has the preview on 'File, Open' gone?

    It was a useful double-check and now means another program must be open to check the image details. Why not just show thumbnails for all the images PS CS6 can recognise, not just jpegs? If Picasa can do it with ease for free why is it such hard work for such a pricey program?

    I agree, Adobe should be providing codecs for the file types they manage.
    See this thread for some potential workaround info:

  • The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

    The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

    This has nothing to do with iTunes as iTunes provides no way to move or relocate the backup files.
    A search of google or the fourms would reveal ways to create a folder link to relocate the physical location where the files are stored.

  • HT4061 I lost my IPhone5 and after 7 hours I called lost and stollen and now I can't track where was the last location I left the phone ,and I don't remember if I stablished the FIND MY PHONE app.

    I lost my IPhone5 and after 7 hours I called lost and stollen and now I can't track where was the last location I left the phone ,and I don't remember if I stablished the FIND MY PHONE app.
    Is there any way that I can find the last location that I left it,eventhough I called in lost and stolen and reactivated my # to a different device.

    If you didn't set up Find My iPhone or it otherwise does not appear in icloud.com, then there's no way to trace it. Notify the police and your cell carrier, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • I deleted my desktop icon - now I can't save things to the desktop!

    After a complete meltdown of my computer (and thank GOD I backed everything up!!) ... I'm transferring everything back to my iMac from an external drive ... BUT, I deleted the little "desktop" icon from my finder folder - or more like, I dragged a desktop folder from the external hard drive and "replaced" the desktop icon.
    Now I can't save anything to the desktop. When I drag something to the desktop it says "The item cannot be moved because the 'desktop' cannot be modified."
    Is there a way to get this back???

    No ...
    Under "Ownership & Permission" is says "You can - Read & Write", so that's not the issue.
    What I did was:
    When you open the finder window, there are several icons that appear in the window - usually the Desktop icon, the Home icon, the Applications icon, the Documents icon, the Movies icon, the Music icon and the Pictures icon.
    What I did was, I dragged a "Desktop FOLDER" over from an external hard drive and it asked me if I wanted to replace the Desktop. I said "Yes" and now I no longer have the DESKTOP ICON on the left side of the finder window and I can no longer drag and drop things to the desktop.
    The desktop icon no longer exists, so I can't access my desktop VIA the finder window.
    Does this make sense?

  • I have two iPhones and an iPad under same Apple ID. How can I change one of the iPhones to a separate id?

    I have 2 iPhones &amp; an iPad under 1 Apple ID. How can I change 1 of the iPhones to a separate account?

    Sign out of the Apple ID on the device in question, making sure to disable the Find My iDevice feature.
    Sign in with the new Apple ID.
    If the intent is to sell the device, simply restore as new after disabling the Find My iDevice and signing out.

  • I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

    I adobe acrobat 7.0 professional. When I open or save a PDF it reverts to Adobe Reader XI. How can I change that to the pro as it has far more editing options.

    You may want to keep Reader. You may want to select Acrobat as your default, but be able to click on a PDF (or PDF link) to open in Reader when needed. There are likely some PDFs that will not open correctly in AA 7 because of new features folks add. Just because it opens in Reader XI does not mean it is in the new format, but just that is the default opening you have. To tell the type of file, you have to open the PDF and check the properties (ctrl-D) and check Description>PDF version.

    for example Query: select &lp_1, &lp_2 from emp &LP_Where
    if i assign lp_1 empno size 10 and empname size 50. Vertical and horizantal elasticty is not going work for me. Any suggestions please..

    Doubt there is the dynamic you are seeking.
    But you may put a few overlapped columns (diff. length of course) and display/hide by passing parameters.
