How to make Mac OS X Finder sort like Windows

Posted on September 15, 2009, under Uncategorized.

1- open terminal
2- paste this into it:

sudo vi /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings

3- type in your password
4- type ‘a’ (this will allow you to edit the file)
5- edit so line 7 looks like this:
“Folder” = ” Folder”; (add a space before Folder inside the quotes.)
6- Press escape
7- type ‘:w’ to write
8-type ‘:q’ to quit

Then go to Apple>Force Quit

and click Finder then click Relaunch.

It should work now…
