Using the Finder 91
The Kind command groups the items in the directory
window by type; document, folder,
or application. The direc-
tory window by kind
is depicted in figure 3.46.
SPECIAL MENU
The Special menu contains the following commands:
• Clean Up
• Empty Trash
• Erase Disk
The Clean Up command can only be used when the By
Icon option in the View menu is active. This command rear-
ranges the icons in the active window into orderly rows and
columns. Clean
Up can also be used without a directory win-
dow being open
to rearrange the Desktop.
The Empty Trash
command can be used to erase any icons
from the Trash icon.
The Erase Disk
command can be used to erase the con-
tents
of a disk. Start-up disks cannot be erased.
Desk Accessories
As mentioned earlier, the various desk accessories can be
accessed from the Apple menu. These can be accessed while the
Desktop
is active or while an applications program is in use.
As with
any other window, the desk accessory window
can be made active by clicking the mouse.
It will automatically
be active when chosen from the Apple menu. The accessory
window can be moved by dragging its title
bar with the mouse.
An accessory window can be closed by clicking the close
box or
by indicating the Close command from the File menu. All desk
accessories will automatically be closed when
an application is
opened
or closed or when a document is opened.
