[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1744396"] Shawn, I want to make a serious suggestion to you. You just accepted a job with a company that is all Mac, and you have a Mac, presumably from them. I strongly urge you to learn the Mac way of things instead of trying to force OS X or macOS, whichever you have, to work like Windows. It simply won't, and you'll be frustrated all the time. Since you work for the company, you should learn the company way of doing things. You do want to appear to be a team player and to be working WITH the company instead of AGAINST it. As for the folder on your Desktop, to move it to your home folder, open Finder (the little blue icon on the left of the Dock) and on the left column you'll see one icon that looks like a house. That is your "Home" folder where you should keep your documents. You "own" that folder and no one else should be able to get in there but you, under normal circumstances. Now drag and drop your folder from the Desktop onto that house icon and the folder and contents will now be in your HOME folder. As for a "file folder menu" that is what Finder is for, and it should default to your home folder when it is opened from the Dock. [/QUOTE]
