Why do this?
Authored by: sjonke on Mar 12, '02 10:14:26AM

What I see is that sometimes I end up, after an installer, with folders that I use to be able to set the view of (such as the top level of my boot drive), always losing their view setting. I set it to keep arranged by name and then before I know all the icons are a mess again, with no sorting in effect. Sometimes I seem to be able to solve this by giving group write permission on these directories (though I'm not sure if that's what really does it). Which begs the question, why would I want to take away write permissions? Apple's installer already seems to do that!
