4. The Home Folder (Shift + Command + H) is the most important folder to you as a user!

I strongly recommend that you store all the files that you create or work with in one of

the folders of your Home folder, whether in your Documents folder or in a new folder

that you create. If you do this, you find it much easier to back-up your important data

because it will all reside in the Home folder (even your preferences will be preserved

since they are stored in the User > Library folder.

5. The Home folder contains Movies, Pictures and Music folders where you may stash

your multimedia files. You may add your own folders and subfolders to your Home

folder as you see fit. You may also add aliases to folders, files, and servers to your

Favorites folder by dragging them to the Favorites icon in the Sidebar, providing you

have placed an alias to Favorites in the Sidebar. The Favorites folder resides in Home >

Library > Favorites.

6. In Mac OS X, the Desktop resides in the Users > Home folder (named according to

user). Due to the multi-user system of OS X, every user has their own Desktop

configuration with their own personal settings, screen saver, etc. In previous versions of

Mac OS, the Desktop folder resided at the root level of the Mac and was invisible (i.e.,

items stored on the Desktop appeared there and the folder containing them was hidden

from view unless you were using File Sharing to connect remotely to a Mac.) In Mac OS

X, each user has their own Desktop, and the items there are stored in the user’s Desktop

folder.

7. You will find that you have TWO different Library folders on your hard drive: one at the

root level of your OS X disk and another in your Home folder. The Library folder at the

root level is like a public library – it stores items that everyone with access to this Mac

can use. The Library in your Home folder is like the library in your own house (i.e., it is

personalized for your individual use.) For example, the Library folder at the root level

contains the Fonts folder that holds all the fonts installed on your Mac and these fonts

are available to ALL users of your Mac; fonts stored in the Fonts folder of the user’s

Library folder are exclusive and can only be used by that individual user. (Actually,

there is a third Library folder residing in the System folder but you should never touch

this folder… just leave it alone… it is the nerve center of your Mac and should NEVER be

moved, removed, or renamed!)

8. The Shared folder (residing within the Users folder) allows everyone who uses the Mac

to use the files stored there. If you want other people who have an account on your Mac

to have access to a file or folder, this is the place to stash it. However, the Shared folder

is not available to guests. For guest access, use the Public folder.

9. The Public folder is where you may place files that you want to be accessible to

everyone with an account as well as guests logged in remotely via LAN or the Internet.

For example, if Bob wants to share a file with Linda, he can put it in the Public folder

under Linda’s user account; or, if he wants to be sure that no one but Linda is able to

see it, Bob can place it in Linda’s Drop Box folder within her Public folder. The

privileges to do all of this are set up when the user accounts are created and you don’t

have to do any changes to user privileges in the accounts to make them accessible in

this manner.
