Simplifying basic tasks
You can customize your computer for novice users (such as less experienced
users and children) or those who use the computer 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.
The Launcher takes advantage of the Macintosh drag and drop feature. You
can easily add items to the Launcher by dragging them into the Launcher
window. To remove items from the Launcher, hold down the Option key while
you select and drag the item from the Launcher window.
