When you are browsing through Finder, you can hit your spacebar or click the "Quick Look" button to see more detailed information about the folder or item highlighted. With this tweak, not only will you see the folder information, but you will also see a list of what the folder contains as well as information about its contents.

Folder.qlgenerator shows items contained in folders in pretty good list view.

Folder Quick Look Plugin – Underconstruction by Taiyo@hatena

1. Boot into single user mode (press Command-S at power on)
2. Type fsck -fy
3. Type mount -uw /
4. Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
5. Type dscl . -passwd /Users/username password, replacing username with the targeted user and password with the desired password.
6. Reboot

This allows you to reset the password in single user mode without booting from the install media.

1. From the Apple menu, select System Preferences... .
2. In System Preferences, from the View menu, select Accounts.
3. On the bottom left side of the window, click Login Options.
4. On the right side of the window, check the box next to Enable fast user switching.
5. On the sheet that drops down, click OK to save the change.
6. The name of the account you are currently logged into should appear on the right side of the menu bar, in the upper right corner of your screen. To log into a different account, click the current account’s name, and from the pull-down menu that appears, select the account you wish to log into.
7. When prompted, provide the password for the account. It may take a moment for the login process to complete, at which point the screen will rotate, and the other account will become dominant.
8. To access the first account, or to log into a different account, repeat steps 6 and 7, selecting the appropriate account.
