I received an attachment via E-mail and wanted to print it straight away.
1. So, I saved the document.
2. Selected it in Finder (not opened it) in Space 2
3. Then used the “File > Print” in Finder
4. The document was opened and printed
5. My word processor closed automatically again
In the meanwhile I was working on a document in a different Space.

Alt+Cmd+D hides the dock and pressing the same brings it back.
After deleting icons from the menu bar by pressing ‘command’ and pressing on the desired icon to remove it by dragging it to the desktop.

Just when Snow Leopard is nearing completion for release, and “Regular” Leopard seemed to be completely documented, I stumbled upon this trick for Macbooks….In a Finder window, go to Columns view. If you have any videos, clicking on one, then placing the mouse pointer over on the Preview column, will make a small Play button appear…You can now use 2-fingers on the trackpad to Scroll-Preview through the video without even hitting the Play button…(You must have “show preview column” enabled in the View Options of the Finder).

I don`t know if it was mentioned before, but you can easily place a program icon into the finders bar by dragging it to the place where you want it. I hope it helped.

We all know “coverflow” is pretty cool. You may or may not use it often. Previously we’ve covered how to view your system fonts with coverflow, but how about this neat trick to view your iCal events?
In Finder, switch to Cover Flow view mode (View -> As Cover Flow), then press Command-F to place the cursor in the Finder’s search box. To isolate Spotlight matches to just iCal events, enter kind:ical in the search box, then press the Space Bar, and type in the word or words that you’d like to find on those iCal events—Leopard in this example. At this point, you may or may not see matches in the results area!
