Favourites can be found on the left-hand side, and these include all the default locations for media and documents as well as any mounted disks (flash drives, external hard drives or optical devices) and mounted disk image (.DMG) files at the bottom. There are four buttons to change the display mode found roughly in the centre of the window, with a settings (context) menu alongside and an arrange window next to that.

To open a new Finder window when you already have one open, you can two-finger click on the icon in the dock and choose New Finder Window, especially handy for copying and moving from one location to the next. Note that the OS X Finder does not have a “cut” function, so that files and folders must be dragged in order to be moved. If you are dragging to a different drive (e.g. a USB flash drive or external hard drive) this action will default to a copy. You can still copy as you would in Windows with the context menu or by hitting ⌘+C to copy then ⌘+V to paste.

With a Finder window focused (active) you can click Finder in the top-left corner of the screen, then Preferences, to tweak certain aspects. Finder allows for labels for the quick identification and grouping of files, which you can apply from the two-finger click menu to folders or files of your choice. You can name these labels from the Preferences window, as well as choosing the default behaviours for search and other personal options.
