[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1601338"] The top menu is the green bar at the top of your screen. Unlike Windows, OSX changes the top bar, as it is called, depending on which application has what is called the focus, that is, which application you are actually working in at the moment. So in your picture, Finder has the focus and the top bar shows the actions you can take in Finder. Click on Finder, then Preferences and follow what I suggested.
