Hello Eleanor, The Finder is the application that manages the storage of files and folders whatever the application that created them.
On a Mac, it is a bad idea to put lots of icons on the desktop as they all get loaded into memory when the computer is booted and can therefore slow down the machine. The Dock contains aliases to applications which are in fact in the Applications folder. It can also contain pointers to folders stored anywhere on the Mac.
