See folder content previews in Quick Look in 10.5 and 10.6
I use QuickLook pretty much everyday while searching through folders. I fin it most helpful when browsing documents, PDF's and media files like photos or videos. Until now if you ran across a nested folder ( a folder inside of another folder) QuickLook will just show you a pretty little aqua blue folder. But adding this little hake-a-round I found on Mac OS X Hints and you'll have a neat little semi-transparent folder to see your files in complete with a rotating animation of your files.

How Do You Do This You Say...Easy:
1. Force Quit/Relaunch Finder Using the Force Quite Menu (or cmd + opt + esc)
2. Open Terminal Application (in your Utilities folder)
3. Enter or paste in the following command:
4. Relaunch Finder
[UPDATE: I was able to do this in 10.6.1 by just pasting the command into terminal without quitting the Finder.]
These are my before and afters.
