[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1588489"] It sounds to me like the user has stored EVERYTHING on the desktop, which would make for a pretty horrible experience. Apps should go in the Applications folder; everything else should go in the home folder in the appropriate sub-folder (or a created one). Nothing but the hard drive icon should ideally be on your desktop (other than temporarily). I have utilized cradom's suggestion and put the Application folder (alias) in the Dock, along with a Home folder alias. Thus I can get to everything I need in one click. I do often use the Spotlight feature in the menubar to launch apps. I find Mission Control occasionally useful but Launchbar is not my cup of tea so I don't use it. [/QUOTE]
