Mac OS X Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual (Missing Manuals)

D.35. Explorer

The Mac has its own "tree" view of the files and folders on your hard drive: list view. By expanding the "flippy triangles " of your folders, you build a hierarchy that shows you as much or as little detail as you like.

If you prefer the Explorer effect of clicking a folder in one pane to see its contents in the next , try Column view instead. Both views are described in Chapter 1.
