One of the big things that I love about my Mac is the fact that there is the dock feature. It really allows me to customize my homepage and take advantage of not cluttering my screen. If there is one thing that I hate is a cluttered home screen. I dread seeing someone’s screen with all kinds of documents, folders, apps, etc, all over the screen. In Snow Leopard, the dock offers a great way to minimize the clutter that is on your home screen. It also gives you a way to access your files faster then trying to locate where they are in the file system. Let me show you.
Add Folders to the Dock
First you want to locate a file folder that you may access all the time. For example, maybe these are your documents. For this example, I am using my “Website Stuff” folder. It is a folder where I put everything and anything that is to do with my website. It is a folder that I access all the time so it would be nice to have it in the dock to easily access it.
Now, if I want to put this folder into the dock, I have to put it on the right hand side of the dock. On the other side of that dotted line that you see in the dock above. Once I do this, the folder is now accessible from the dock.
And really, that is about it. Pretty easy tip, but saves so much time. As you can see, I have a few things there are on the dock that I have put there. For example, I have my Applications Folder, and My Documents folder on there as well. Don’t forget, when you do this, you have to put the folder on the right hand side. You can also do the same thing with applications. The only difference is that Applications go on the left hand side.
I hope this tip helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
