Can I add my Desktop to my Favorites Bar? I'm using a MacBook Pro with OSX. Thanks!

Yes you can.

Go to Finder > Preferences > Sidebar, then select which headings you would like in your favourites (desktop is in there!)

Thanks for interpretation of the question ! There was no mention of the Finder, and I assumed we were talking about the browser. I just think of the Finder sidebar as the sidebar.

Of course you can put the Desktop in there, you can drag any folder you want into the sidebar for ease of access.

For that matter you can drag any app/folder or file to the Finder toolbar as well- your choice, in Mavericks just hold the option command key

No.

try 4 fingers swipe up to get to the Mission control and your Desktop.

>System Preferences>Trackpad>More Gestures

thanks a bunch
