Daily Trick 17. Set Finder Home

Most of the time, we will use Finder to browse through our files. If you've noticed, there will be the same directory shown in the first time you open Finder.

Let's call it Finder Home.

By default, this finder home is set to your user home. Perhaps you don't need to visit our home frequently; You visit our Pictures folder more often. Then it would save you several clicks if you change the default Finder Home, with these simple steps.

  1. Access Finder menubar and choose
    Finder → Preferences
  2. Under the preferences pane, choose the General section
  3. Look for the only combo box and apparently it is used for setting Finder Hoome
  4. Choose the directory that you often visit
  5. Changes will be applied instantly and be shown when you open new finder window

However, if you don't want to set Finder Home, you can always drag-drop your favorite directory or folder to the sidebar and have access to it within single mouse-click.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.JgI6MTkxk5y097uu
