The correct Syntax
Authored by: insha on Jul 23, '02 08:53:23PM

This is just a minor correction for this hint. The correct format of the string that needs to be typed in the Terminal window is as follows:

sudo defaults writes "Apple Global Domain" AppleScrollBarVariant "DoubleBoth"

Once you type the above line press return and you will be prompted for a password. Type in the admin/root password and press enter. You will have to quit any application that you are running and relaunch them along with relaunching the Finder (from the Apple Menu | Force Quit) for the changes to take. You can also restart or log out and log back in... but that's a little too much work... at least for me :)

Hope this helps.

Can you tell me if this will work on 10.2.1. I have seen that Tinker Tool does this and more but I don't want all of TT on my system. Is this the same sequence as TT?
Thanks,
Michael in London

&uotactually, I think you meant "write; not "writes"
