Trying to open usb drive in finder on i-mac and preferences is not an option

In the Finder, Finder > {Preferences…/Settings…} (the wording depends on the version of macOS you're running) has General and Sidebar tabs.

In the General tab, you can choose what types of drives to show on the Desktop. Check off "External disks" if you want icons for USB flash drives to appear on the Desktop. In the Sidebar tab, you can choose what types of drives (and other things) to show in Finder window sidebars. Same idea there.

Have you tried right click on the drive?

Please read the following user tip and restate your question/problem in detail: 

     Writing an Effective Apple Support Communities Question - Apple Community

What do you mean by a "stick" drive? Are you referring to a flash drive?

What is the brand, model and size of the drive?

How is the drive formatted? If is FAT 32 there is no permissions available as it's a Windows format.

please tell us what you are attempting to accomplish by getting the preferences of the USB stick and then we can help you out.

Also, there is no need to ask the same question 2x within 2 minutes. It takes time to answer questions on a forum and we are all volunteer end users just like you. The better the question is worded the faster we can answer.
