Choose from the options in General tab to change what items will appear on the desktop, and what will appear when you open a new Finder Window. In the Sidebar tab in Preferences select what shows up in the left-hand column of the Finder window.
Select the Advanced tab to change options, such as displaying file extensions, warning before emptying the Trash, and where to look when performing a search. Information in this article applies to macOS Catalina The Finder Path Bar is disabled by default, but it only takes a few seconds to enable it. Start by opening a Finder window on your Mac. An easy way to do this is to click the Finder icon in the Dock. The Path Bar displays at the bottom of all your Finder windows showing the path to any file or folder you choose.
The Finder Path Bar is a small pane located at the bottom of a Finder window , just below where files and folders are listed. The Path Bar shows you the path from the folder you're currently viewing to the top of the file system. To put it another way, it shows you the path you created when you clicked through the Finder to get to the current folder. If you decide you prefer the more minimalistic Finder window, you can turn the Path Bar off just as quickly as you turned it on.
Select Hide Path Bar from the View menu. The Path Bar disappears. In addition to its obvious use as a road map showing where you've been and how you got from there to here, the Path Bar also serves other handy functions. The Path Bar is handy, but there are other ways to display the path to an item. One method is to add the Path icon to the Finder's toolbar by selecting View in the Finder menu bar and choosing Customize Toolbar.
Drag the Path icon to the top of the Finder window. The Path icon displays the path to the currently selected item much as the Path Bar does.
The difference is that the Path Bar shows the path in a horizontal format, while the Path icon uses a vertical format. The other difference is that the Path button only displays the path when the button is clicked.

It provides access to files and folders, displays windows, and generally controls how you interact with your Mac. Open a Finder window by clicking the Finder icon on the Dock or by selecting New Finder Window in the File menu at the top of the screen when you're on the desktop. If you're switching to the Mac from Windows , you'll discover that the Finder is a way to browse the file system, similar to Windows Explorer.
The Mac Finder is more than a file browser, though. It's a road map to your Mac's file system. Taking a few minutes to learn how to use and customize the Finder is time well spent. The Finder sidebar, which is the pane on the left side of every Finder window, provides quick access to common locations, but it's capable of much more.
The sidebar offers shortcuts to areas of your Mac that you likely use the most. It's a helpful tool that can help you navigate to important folders quickly without opening a bunch of windows unnecessarily.
Long-time users of Finder labels may be a bit put off by their disappearance with the introduction of OS X Mavericks, but their replacement, Finder tags, is more versatile and is an excellent addition for managing files and folders in Finder. Organize similar files by applying a Finder tag. Once tagged, you can quickly view and work with the files that use the same tag. Finder tabs, ushered in with OS X Mavericks, are similar to tabs you see in most browsers, including Safari.
Their purpose is to minimize screen clutter by gathering what used to be displayed in separate windows into a single Finder window with multiple tabs. Each tab acts as a separate Finder window but without the clutter of having multiple windows open and scattered around your desktop.
Spring-loaded folders make it easy to drag and drop files by automatically opening a folder when your cursor hovers above it. This makes dragging files to a new location within nested folders a breeze.
