Opening the Finder will take you to a default folder, such as Applications. But what if you want a different folder to show?

Here’s how to change it:

1. Open Finder.
2. In the upper-left corner, click Finder > Settings.
3. This will open a tiny window on the Desktop.
4. Search for a drop-down window that says “Finder window will show“.
5. Select the Folder you wish to show when you open Finder.
6. That’s it.
