Inevitably, deciding which files to have on your desktop and which files to store in Documents or other folders away from your desktop can be a cumbersome task. Then you tend to search via Spotlight to find the files your looking for, without much success. Ever wondered why this is so?
Well users that have information on their Mac tend to categorize accordingly with reference to folder structures. Where to specify those folders depends on one main factor, easy accessibility. However after some time the user notices their desktop is cluttered with all of their important information. How to manage this?
First and foremost, the user can go to Finder, View and then Clean up to organize the folders in a better view. Secondly the next best thing to do is create an alias. An alias is a shortcut of the original folder to a specific location. As an example, you could have one important folder that you access regularly after accessing many sub folders on your Mac. If you right click that main folder and select Make Alias then drag it to the desktop, you will have an exact copy of that folder. Any changes made will reflect in the main folder.
At this stage only the absolute essential, regular files that you continuously update should be an alias, on your desktop. That way you access the most regular files easily and your managing your file structures by not creating uncluttered space.
