OK, I ran Tiger for about 5 years on my old Mini, and just recently
bought a new Mac Mini running Snow Leopard. It seems that the folders
and files on my desktop have names that tend to abbreviate themselves
with fewer letters than they did in the past. I've done the obligatory
internet search and cannot find the answer.
For instance, where I used to name a folder or file "letters ruthanne
from 2006", I now get a shortened version like "letters ruthanne...06".
Has anyone else noticed this, and if so, does anyone know of a way to
have the entire folder/file name displayed instead of the shortened
version?
TIA

Think of how stupid the average person is, and
realize that half of them are stupider than that.

Duh. Finally found my answer: increase grid spacing in finder view
options.
