Finder problem

When I click on the Finder icon I don't get the usual Finder. Everything is missing, sidebar, icons at the top etc. Don't know why its happened. How do I get it back to normal?


Its like this?

Might be corrupted Finder preferences.



Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder


Type or copy paste the following:


~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist


Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash.



Restart your Mac then try the Finder.
