Simplifying basic tasks

You can customize your Macintosh for novice users (such as less experienced
users and children) or those who use the Macintosh for only a few specific
tasks:
m Provide a way to find and launch application programs easily.
m Make it easier to keep track of documents by saving them in a Documents

folder on the desktop.

m Hide the desktop (Finder) items while you work in an application program.
m Protect the programs that operate the computer from being removed or

renamed.

One-step program launching

You can use the “Launcher” to provide easy access to application programs.
The Launcher is a special window that contains “buttons” that open programs
with one click. When the Launcher window is open, it appears in the lower-
left corner of your desktop.

To open the Launcher window, open the Apple (K) menu and choose Control
Panels. Then choose Launcher.
