[Hi I'm Ben]

When i hold a item over a folder for awhile the folder the items is over opens up and displays the contents then i can drop the file in there.
well i hate that.. cause it typically happens when i'm over my music folder with 2400 songs and causes my computer to lag.

thing number 2.
the sliding window, that's when i go to place something in a folder and the folder is halfway off the screen so it slides it over to fit all the way on the screen so i can see everything. I don't like that either.

I don't know how to turn either of these features off, or is it even possible?

You can disable spring loaded folders from your Finder preferences. That should take care of both problems, if I'm understanding you correctly.

[Hi I'm Ben]

yes that's much better.
damn spring loaded computer slowing madness
