    You have to patch the Finder to do that?

    Load up EasyOpen as a PIF instead of a FinderExtra and have it watch
for OS calls.  When a folder in Standard File is opened, intercept the
pathname, substitute it if necessary with the real thing and pass it
back.  Hey, I didn't say it would be *easy*, just *possible*.  Maybe you
should rename EasyOpen to MightOpen or ShouldOpen.... :)
