The Power of Preferences
Many preferences, such as Dock and Finder preferences, are used to customize the
appearance of desktops. For example, you can set up Dock preferences and Finder
preferences so that the work environment is dramatically simplified.
Other preferences are used to manage what a user can access and control. For
example, you can set up Media Access preferences to prevent users from burning CDs
and DVDs or making changes to a computer’s internal disk.
Here’s a summary of how preferences affect the appearance of the desktop and the
