Desktop

Can someone tell me how to safely get rid of the HD icon my son in law placed on my desk top?

Finder > Preferences > General > uncheck "Hard Disks" under "Show these items on the desktop."

Preferences doesn't show up when I click finder.

The reference to Finder is the Finder menu. So, Finder Menu > Preferences...

Check in the upper left corner of the screen.

Once again you guys shine through. I am still in "Dummy Class" but I'm learning little by little.

A while back I asked how to make my fonts larger in my mail and Safari. I found out how to do it on the open screen, but I'd still like to know how to make it stay larger without clicking on the zoom every time I open a window.

Download the free Tinker Tool. Read the FAQ first and don't mess with the hidden files option.
