Two questions I've been wondering for about the past 6 months..

1) Is there a way to seperate files and folders (like Windows)?

2) Is there a way to "view all folders like current" (like Windows)? I really like the details view.. not the default Finder view.

I think this is what you're looking for, with Finder selected:

hit the Apple key + J

or click on the sprocket looking thing in Finder's toolbar then choose Show View Options

Once you've got your Finder window like you like it, you'll probably want to make sure "All windows" is selected in the pop up window. There is a different pop up for each of the three Finder views (Icons, Lists, and Columns).
 
sorry to hijack/derail but i also have a n00b os x question. is there anyway to make folders come first like in bloody windows?! the only way i've found is to put a space before the folder name and that is fine for when i create new folders but i'm not going back through all the standard ones and doing that. i hate having my folders mixed in with files/programs. :mad:

well you can always view in finder as a list and then sort by kind
Click to expand...

sorting by kind makes the folders appear at the bottom (At least for me)
I'll check that pathfinder program out thoughm thanks!

Arrange by Kind sorts alphabetically, so in List view, click Kind once to make it sort starting with ABCDE and F for Folder, click it again to sort in the oppisite direction ZYX.. FEDCBA. Hope that made sense.
