Ah thanks Ann, then I was getting desktop and finder mixed up. Final
question here then, would I be wrong to make Aliases on the desktop? is it
best to put them on the dock or just leave in the documents folder?

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.
Cheers,
Anne

I was under the impression as a Mac newbee that people did not fill up
the Finder with icons but went to the Doc or to the Documents folder.
Now am I missing out on something? Maybe you are referring to the
Documents folders as Finder folders, please enlighten me!
