The Mac OS X Folder Structure The icon for your hard drive usually called Macintosh HD may appear in the upperright corner of your screen. But if you begin each morning by double-clicking it like millions of other people who ve grown used to older versions of the Mac OS you re in for a shock Your stuff isn t there. All you ll find in the Macintosh HD window is a set of folders called Applications Library and Users folders you didn t put there. If you upgraded an existing Mac to Mac OS X you ll also see all your original hard drive folders nestled among them. Most of these folders aren t very useful to you the Mac s human companion. They re there for Mac OS X s own use which is why the Finder Preferences dialog box offers a checkbox that hides their icons entirely . Think of your main hard drive window as storage for the operating system itself which you ll access only for occasional administrative purposes. . Your Home Folder Instead of setting up your nest your files folders aliases and so on in the hard drive window Mac OS X keeps all of it in your Home folder. That s a folder bearing your name or whatever name you typed when you installed Mac OS X . One way to find the Home folder is to double-click the Users folder and then doubleclick the folder inside it that bears your name and looks like a house see Figure 2-1 . Here at last is the window that you ll eventually fill with new folders organize back up and so on. But Mac OS X is rife with shortcuts for opening this all-important folder Choose Go Home or press Shift- -H. In the Sidebar Section click the Home icon the little house . In the Dock click the Home icon. If you don t see one consult Section for instructions on how to put one there. Press -N or choose File New Finder Window. If your Home folder doesn t open when you do that see Section . All of these steps open your Home folder directly. Figure 2-1. This is it the folder structure of Mac OS X. It s not so bad really.
