What happened to hiding Classic???
okay, this might be a "Genius Bar" thread -- mod, feel free to move it if you think it deserves to be there instead.
my question: remember when the "classic" system preference had an option to "hide during startup"? well, i have not seen that toggle checkbox since 10.1 (10.0.x and previous all had it). am i doing something wrong? i have classic set to launch at startup so there's little lag if i accidentally launch a classic app, but i hate having to manually hide/minimize the launch window each time.
anyone else notice this? i have installed 10.1 (the full version, not upgrade onto 10.0.x) on my g4 500 dvd at work, my imac dv se 400 and pismo 500 dvd, and the option is gone on ALL of them... hmmm... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

i know i'm not crazy... it really was there, and now it seems to be gone, and i don't understand why. and i don't think it's an adminstrative access privilege thing, since i am the only user (and, just for the hell of it, i turned off all protectiion for the system to see if it would magically appear, but no luck).
there must be a way to get it back, just like someone re-activated the "one-window" mode from the mac os x public beta (which i use often, but apple removed any easy activation widget for the feature).
I know there's an OS X web site that has lot's of tips and tricks like this...can't remember the URL off the top of my head. I'll look around some.

they will be able to help you or find someone who can. There are all kinds of Classic hacks listed on the page I linked to, so I'm even more confident now that something can be done to change the behavior you're talking about.
