Thanks David,

Further searching on the web revealed that a "Defaults Write.." could be
executed from the command-line altering the Finder's DesktopViewOptions (as
you've shown below). This achieves the end-result but may well break in the
future. I was hoping to be able to do this from within a higher-level
Framework (AppKit, Foundation). Remotely "Apple-Scripting" the Finder may be
a cleaner solution but I don't know of any way to do this from Java-Cocoa
and I don't know of a way to "view" the Finder's (or any app's) AppleScript
dictionary.


Mark
