Switching to the Mac[c] The Missing Manual
The Macintosh desktop is pretty much the same idea as the Windows desktop, with a few key differences:
-
Disk icons show up on the Mac desktop as soon as they are inserted or connected. You don't have to open a window to see their icons.
-
You change the desktop picture using the Desktop & Screen Saver pane of System Preferences.
-
The Trash is an icon on the Dock, not loose on the desktop.
