We're not going to put anything in there. That's going to be this pretty empty folder except for an Applications folder there. Probably you want to use User Scripts Folder. Computer for all the User Accounts on your Mac. User only for that User Account on your Mac.

User Scripts Folder and Computer Scripts Folder are things that are always going to be there. Safari Scripts Folder is listed because Safari is running. So now all it is is a little menu bar icon that allows you to access the Script Editor or access something called Scripts Folders. If you don't want to use those or investigate those you can just turn them off. Turn it on and I get this little menu in the Menu Bar. So Script Editor gives you access to Script Menu. So Script Editor Preferences, under General, has something called Script Menu. We're just going to use its' Preferences menu. We're not going to use it to actually create any scripts.
So Script Editor is something where you can use to create Apple Script. So I'm going to hit Command Space for Spotlight and search for Script Editor and I'm going to run it.
#How to bookmark a website on a macbook air mac
The way to get to it is to run an app that you've got on your Mac already called Script Editor.

It's not going to put the website as its own icon but it will give you a menu up here to access websites easily. But there is one way to do it with just the stuff that's on your Mac. There's some third party apps that kind of play around with that idea but there's no real strict way to do it. Now what would be awesome is if you could also put links to webpages in the Menu Bar here at the top. So instead of the step of launching Safari and then using Favorites you can do it in one step. The handy thing is that Safari doesn't have to be running for you to actually go to these. So you can put a whole bunch of links here in the Dock. I can click on anyone of these and it will launch Safari and go right to it. Or I can have it do a list which is this. I can have it do as a grid, which is this. So I can have it do as a fan which is this. I can click on Links and it pops up here. I've already got the folder added to Links there so it's already in the Dock. So I've got three of these web locations here. I can do another one and I'll put that in as well. So I can drag this website here into Links and it's going to create a web loc file there. So I'm never going to access it there but I'm going to create a new folder called Links and I'm going to drag that to the Dock to the right side of the Dock there. So let's create a new Finder window and let's just go to the Documents folder, say, and I'm going to create a new folder there. Now the Dock can actually have folders in it as well. If I click on this in the Dock it launches Safari and goes right to that webpage. You can see it appears right there in the Dock. You can drag and instead of dragging it to the desktop you can drag to the right side of the Dock and I'll drop it right there. You get rid of it just like you do any file. Wherever it's convenient for me to get to it. So I could put it in a folder somewhere or on the desktop. So I can quit Safari here and double click on this on my desktop and it will launch Safari and go right to that page. This will actually launch Safari and take me to that page. I can drag it outside of Safari to the desktop here and drop it there. There are ways to get links to webpages that are even outside of Safari.įor instance, the simplest thing is to simply click and drag the link at the top. Sure, you can put them in your Bookmarks or your Favorites bar but you want even easier access. Video Transcript: So let's say you've got some websites that you need to access all the time. Check out Add Web Links To the Desktop, Dock and Menu Bar at YouTube for closed captioning and more options.
