Get To Know The Finder Window

Submitted by Chris on March 12, 2008 - 2:07am

Finder windows generally include a sidebar on the left side. Items are grouped into categories: places, devices, shared computers, and searches — just like the Source list in iTunes. Whatever mounted and accessible volumes you have, such as a hard disk, iDisk, network, CD, DVD, or iPod, in the top portion. The bottom portion contains your user account folder, aka Home folder—the folder named after your user account name, some of the folders found in your Home folder include (Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, and Pictures), and the Applications folder. This is what it generally looks like. 

To open a Finder Window

Click on the Finder icon on the Dock.

You can have multiple Finder Windows opened at once. To open a new window, from the Menu Bar, select File>New Finder Window. Or as a shortcut, press N on your keyboard.

This is a very helpful overview of the finder window. I came across doing a google search on finder articles. I linked this article at our blog found here:

http://blog.theentrepreneurschool.com/entrepreneurs-using-macs-finder-te...

We are an Online School for training Entrepreneurs and as 3 out of the 5 founders are mac users and given our students are often mac users we like to post helpful tools, techniques and links for them.

Thanks for your article.

Excellent concept! Brand image can be reinforced by brand communications. You need to focus both on offline and online medium. Social media is an important place where you can communicate one to one with your traget audience. Halloween Costumes
