The Finder window can display the contents of a folder in four different ways, as shown in Figure 8-3:

  • Icons Displays files and folders as large icons or pictures

  • List Displays files and folders as tiny icons, with names and the dates and times that they were last modified

  • Columns Displays files and folders in columns so you can easily see the folder hierarchy

  • Cover Flow Displays files and folders as a combination of the Icons and List views

Views let you see your files and folders in different ways.
