Problem
We will often refer people to files or folders by using a path. For example, when searching for third-party software, we may ask you to check the “~/Library/LaunchAgents” folder.
The average user may have trouble finding this folder.
This article will help you learn how to track down the file that path is pointing you to.
Solution
In this method we are going to use “Go to Folder”.
1. Highlight and copy the text in the box below:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
2. Click on “Finder”.
3. Click “Go” on the “Menu Bar” and then click “Go to Folder”.
4. Paste the text into the “Go to Folder” text field and click “Go”.
This should now open the requested folder.
