How can I make new finder windows open in front

Since upgrading to Lion, whenever I open a new window, installer, DMG, etc, it opens BEHIND all the other windows and I have to move windows out of the way in order to interact with application or whatever I have opened.
I know this has to be a setting somewhere but I can't tell where it is and have no luck searching for the answer.
Thanks,
Alan

I know this may not help but when u open finder instead of moving all the windows when u open finder right click on it put show all windows and u can click on finder for easier access

    How can I make the Calender window smaller?

    Yes. It's at the minimum size via that method, but is much too large.  I like to have it open always and in the previous OS the window was much smaller. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.

    Select (highlight) the file in Finder and then use the Finder File menu Get Info (or Command I) and in the Open With section of the Get Info choose the application you want to open the file. Another method is to right-click the file in Finder.

  • How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

  • How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

    How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

    Put the image behind the layer (at the back of it or on a layer below). With it still selected, Copy.
    Now Paste in Front (Ctrl+F). Depending on your Paste Remembers Layers setting, you may have to bring the newly pasted copy to the front, or to the upper layer.
    Draw a shape over the image to define the portion of it you want to appear "in front."
    With the shape and the image selected, clip the image using the shape. (Object > Clipping Mask > Make)

  • How do I make a new finder window open 'inside' my home folder?

    In finder I have set new finder windows to open my home folder, however it is actually opening the Users folder. So if I press down, it will select the next user in the list rather than selecting the first folder in my home directory.
    This doesn't happen for any other folders. e.g. If I set it to open my documents folder and I press down, the first document in the folder will be selected.
    Any idea how I can get this to work properly?

    Double check in Finder preferences that you actually have set it to your home folder because your entire description is consistent with it being set to the Users folder. I don't see how it can be set to 'home' and open any folder other than that one.
    Can you post a screenshot of the Finder preferences | General setting?

  • How can I make sure under Windows 8 in Explorer to get a real pdf document content file miniature and not the Adobe logo miniature?

    This is not a typical Windows 8 problem, I had the same problem with all my previous Acrobat versions on all previous Windows versions.
    How can I make sure that when consulting pdf files via Windows explorer the pdf file is represented as a genuine miniature of the document content itself and noit just a document icon with Adobe logo?

    Hi Josialaers,
    Turn the 'Preview Pane' ON and you should be able to see the content of the pdf when clicked.
    When 'Show preview handlers in preview pane ON' is checked in 'Folder Options' of Windows Explorer.

  • How can I make my PowerPC/Windows programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

    In a few months I will be buying a MacBook Pro and I have a lot of old games that I would like to be able to play on it. But those games are Windows/PowerPC only and Mac OS X Lion does not support PowerPC. How can I make my old programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

    For porting Windows programs to Mac OS X, you can check out Wineskin.  It can be very simple to very hard to do though... its all a case by case basis.  The older the game is the more likely you are to get it to work easily though.

  • How can I make my player window bigger?

    Hi,
    I use Quicktime Pro with Flip4Mac when I watch previous tv programs from my home country. With my previous laptop running Windows you just had to double-click on the window and you got a big screen and you could adjust the size. How can I make this work on my Macbook?

    Choose options from the View menu as desired, or click on the window's title bar or the bottom right corner and drag them as desired.

  • How can I make a specific page open in a new window when clicked from a menu?

    Don't know if its possible but I have one specific page I want to open in a new window in the browswer when clicked on from a widget menu.  I know how to go in and put the coding in but it would be nice if there is some option in Muse to do that already.  Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

    ryanj4799 You'll need to change the Menu Type to Manual in the widget's options and add the links yourself. Then go to the Hyperlinks panel. Check the option to open in a new tab/window.

  • How can I set the finder window to open the same way every time?

    Everytime I open Finder it goes back to it's default view which is just too small, but I want to set the finder columns and window so that they open the same exact way every single time. I'm tired of resizing everything.
    Currently I have to resize every window and column everytime and I think my work is much slower then when I was on Windows because of it.
    Is there a setting, script, file, patch, anything, is there absolutely anything I can do to actually control the Finder views and make them adjust to MY criteria and stay that way...

    That is a big negative. That does absolutely nothing other then close my window, next time the finder window is opened then the column widths are small again.
    In Windows Explorer all your windows are customizable, how do I do this with Finder?

  • How can I make new tabs open next to the current tab?

    New tabs are advertised in Firefox 5.0 as being set to open next the the current tab by default. Mine, however, do not do this. They open to the right of the last tab, necessitating a lot of tab-scrolling, and a minor waste of time.
    I have not installed the extension that forces the tab behaviour I'm currently witnessing.
    Is there a kind soul out there with any suggestions for how I can get my new tabs to appear next to the tab I'm working on?

    Tabs that are "related" to the current tab, like the same domain, open to the right of the current tab. Other links that are from other domains open at the right end of the tab strip.
    The pref for that actions is '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''.
    To have them all open to the right of the current tab would need an add-on, if that action even exists in an add-on.
