User and System Appications Folder In Mavericks (OS X 10.9), the User's Application folder is a separate folder from the System Application folder. Is there a way to see these two folders as one, similar to how it works on Windows? Otherwise, having both in the Finder Sidebar looks confusing and clunky:
You can create a smart folder which shows the contents of both folders. Go to File &rarr; New Smart Folder and add both the directories as rules for the smart folder.
