Configure Finder views

Enable this group policy to control Finder views, for example the arrangement and appearance of items on a user's desktop, in Finder windows, and in the top-level folder of the computer.

=== Desktop View ===

Items on a user's desktop appear as icons. Desktop View allows you adjust the icon size and arrangement.

- Icon Size
Adjust the icon size.

- Icon Arrangement
To keep items aligned in rows and columns, select 'Snap to grid'.
To arrange items by criteria such as name or type (for example, all folders grouped together), select 'Keep arranged by ...'.

=== Default View / Computer View ===

Items in Finder windows are viewed in a list or as icons and you can control aspects of how these items look.

Default View settings control the overall appearance of all Finder windows. Computer View settings control the view for the top-level computer folder, showing hard disks and disk partitions, external hard drives, mounted volumes, and removable media (such as CDs or DVDs).

=== List View ===

- Use relative dates
If selected, an item's creation or modification date appears relative to today, rather than as a fixed date; for example, "Today", or "Yesterday", instead of "3/24/10".

- Calculate folder sizes
Select to calculate the total size of each folder shown in a Finder window, which can take a lot of time depending on the size of the folder.

- Icon Size -
Select 'small' or 'big' for the size of icons in list view.

Once enabled, this group policy takes effect when users log out and back in.
