Hi Gary, good suggestions. Just thought I’d mention that you can also use a hot corner to quickly get to the desktop folders. 🤓
Thanks for all you do - Stu

Thanks Gary! As always, your videos are so informative.
If I delete a file or folder from the Mac desktop does it remove it from the computer completely?
Tom: Yes. Deleting from the Desktop deletes the file in your Desktop folder. The file is deleted. It isn't anywhere else.

Or you can use what I love best for all things the hand gestures. Pinch "OPEN" with a 4 fingers will do the same thing. This way you don't have to fumble with the clunky function button. I also swipe left/right to access the adjacent windows.
