  • On the Menu Bar, click File menu > click New Finder Window


  • The new Finder window titled All My Files will display:

    • Red button – close the window

    • Yellow button – minimize the window down into the Dock

    • Green button – expand or restore the window size

    • Sidebar – display favorite items that are locations that are visited fairly routinely. When each item is selected, its contents will display on the Display pane
