Move the hidden contents of a window into view

As you work with your computer, you’ll encounter windows containing more than you can view on the screen at one time. You can view contents that are out of sight, as described in the following steps.

1.Check that the Macintosh HD window is active, then click the System Folder to select it.

Make sure that the icon is highlighted, which means that it’s selected.

2.Point to the File menu title in the menu bar.

3.Press to pull down the File menu.

4.Drag to the Open command so it becomes highlighted, and then release the trackball button.

When you choose the Open command, the System Folder icon opens into a window (the System Folder window).

You should now have three windows on your Macintosh desktop: the Macintosh HD window, the Trash window, and the System Folder window. (One or more of these windows may be covered by the others.) The System Folder window is the active window because you opened the System Folder most recently.

5.Point to the size box in the lower-right corner of the System Folder window.
