Where is Desktop icon in Monterey sidebar?
MacBook Pro 17″, OS X 10.11
In Finder Preferences > Sidebar > Desktop.
In Finder Preferences > Sidebar > Desktop.
OK, I just dragged the Desktop folder icon into favourites in the sidebar and it appeared. Hopefully it will stay! Thanks for this idea. I had earlier tried dragging it into Locations, but it failed. Interesting.
Just to be sure have you put your cursor over the drop down arrow
Have you tried dragging the desktop folder into the Sidebar? Do a search in finder for desktop and drag.
I found it in the Go pull down menu!
Thank you. So strange, I have ticked it in that place, but it still does not show up on the sidebar. I wonder if this means Monterey is not truly compatible with my older Mac. It disappeared after I upgraded from my previous system.
But is it showing in the Sidebar?
Unfortunately, even if I try a few times to select it in Preferences, it refuses to show up in the sidebar. In fact I noticed a few other items I selected failed to show up as well.
Yes I have done that several times just to check. It is definitely some sort of Monterey upgrade problem on my 2017 Mac desktop computer, but I really appreciate your replies and help.
