IV. WHERE ARE ALL THE PROGRAMS?!?
Many of the Mac’s common programs can be launched from the Dock. However,
not all programs are listed here. There are several methods of finding programs
that do not have an icon in the Dock or on the Desktop.
Macintosh HD:
The first (and possibly only) icon you’ll see on the Mac desktop
is labeled “Macintosh HD” (HD stands for hard drive). It’s
usually in the upper right corner and is similar to the “My
Computer” icon in Windows. Double-click on the icon to open a
window that allows you to navigate to various folders on the hard drive. Click on
“Applications” in the far left column and a list of installed programs will appear.
Another way to arrive at this screen is through Finder, which we’ll explore next.
Finder:
Finder is similar to Windows Explorer. To open Finder, click on its icon in the
dock, usually located on the far left:
This should take you to the same window as the “Macintosh HD” icon,
although it may have a different folder highlighted. In this case, mine
has my username highlighted for quick access to my documents,
pictures, etc…
