A good thing: it stops the frustrating situation where you keep saying
"That one !" to the standard file dialogs because you can see the
folder you want.  Just click on the Finder window.  If the file dialog
is in the way because it's positioned over the folder, you can drag
the file dialog out of the way.  A truly wonderful INIT which doesn't
appear to interfere with anything else I run.

Also,  while it's intended just to let you click on any folder you can
see, you can use it as a tool: make a folder with aliases to folders
you use often and leave part of a window of that folder visible on the
desktop, perhaps in the bottom-left-hand corner or (with System 8) as
a Popup window at the bottom of the screen.  Then you have a shortcut
to all your frequently-used folders -- just click on the window title.

CTII is available at all the normal Mac software archives and version
1.0.9 works on all versions of the system from 7.1 to 8.1.

Shameful by implication: CTII is so good I paid my shareware fee: $5.

Simon.
