For this I use QaLL. It works fine on 10.5.8, but whether it'll also work on 10.6.x I don't know yet... - Do note that qaLL quits any open application except the Finder and Finder depending apps in one and the same process. QaLL 2.0.1 (freeware) quit every app at once http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32340 Cheers, Erik Richard -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Erik Richard Sørensen, Member of ADC, <mac-manNOSP(a)Mstofanet.dk> NisusWriter - The Future In Multilingual Text Processing - www.nisus.com OpenOffice.org - The Modern Productivity Solution - www.openoffice.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right so, but you could place it directly to the right of the 'Finder' icon. That's how I use it...
