Bad decision.

It appears you can change the folders one at a time, as you could in previous OS X releases. But changing the default folders takes much more work and help from a third party.

Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
Finally:

the upgrade went smooth for the most part. Paralles had to be upgraded to 3.0 because it decided to sputter a bit but i kinda knew that. So i dug out the disc i bought last June and did the upgrade. Parallels for both the admin and other users went well wih a few minor glitches. Even the internet connection settings went well except for one minor glitch (Mail SMPT) didn't come on board so a manual configure was necessary before i could get any mail on the Admin side. The user side did just fine except parallels tools wanted to cause problems. I just shut the computer off then turned it back on and everything works fine.

I still can't stand those Blue folders and i'm not sure how soon i will install Leopard on my iMac but my Quicksilver G4 is next cause it's just a barebones system with hardly anything on it. Wish me the best!!!

Leopard seems to work well but I don't see any big advantages?

My Thinkpad is getting old and is out of warranty. The network card is dropping out, so I took the plunge.

Since you don't see the advantage of leopard and since Apple computers run leopard why take the plunge?
Certinally your thinkpad is getting old and being out of warranty, and the network card is dropping out coulden't be the reason.
