every time I log in now osx defaults my apps folder to brushed metal with 32x32 icons and they're all over the place, same with my macintosh HD, seems to save most toher folders thought anyone know how to correct this. I think it started happening a few days ago when finder froze.

I have a few permission probs on my machine after installing panther to a fresh user then adding my old one from a broken jag install and stuff, maybe I don't have permission to write to the .ds_store files so it doesnt save my settings?

Finder is a PITA. I restarted after the latest security update and my desktop icons were all over the place.
