The Finder’s Preferences
To set up your Finder’s preferences, select Preferences… from the Finder menu. The
Preferences menu has been changed in Panther to include four different tab choices: General,
Labels, Sidebar, and Advanced.
Figure 10: Finder Preferences – General Tab
The General tab allows you to set up your preferences for whether or not you wish to see hard
disks, CDs, DVDs and connected servers on the Desktop. This is also the area where you select
what a new Finder window opens as default and whether or not folders open in a new window.
The Labels tab (Figure 11) is new to Panther. Many past OS 9 users complained to Apple when
they were no longer to attach labels and colors to folders or files for better organization. Apple
fixed this deficiency in Panther and in this tab you can assign label names to the various colors.
To apply a color, Control-click or Right-click an item and select a color dot from under the
section called Color Label. To remove a color you have assigned to an item, choose the little X
under the Color Label section.
