About folders and slashes
We use the forward-slash character ‘/’ as shorthand to indicate folders on your Mac. This notation is called a path in Mac OS X. Each word between slashes is a folder name. Start in any Finder window, and click the name of your startup disk in the left pane (often Macintosh HD). Then open each folder in order. So for Macintosh HD/Library/Preference Panes, open your startup disk, then open the folder Library, and then the folder Preference Panes.
