Arranging and Grouping Files

You’ll notice that this book doesn’t take a bunch of time to tell you about how to sort files, open folders, and all the typical things you do on a computer. Why? Because they work exactly the way you’d expect on a modern operating system. That said, Lion introduces some interesting ways of looking at files that you might not be aware of.

Using All My Files

If you’ve ever wanted to view all the files you have, the All My Files group will help you out. This feature displays, quite literally, all your files in your personal MacBook account. To view your files, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the Favorites section of the Finder sidebar is expanded.

2. Click the All My Files icon, or choose Go, All My Files from the menubar.
