The multitasking version of Finder for Apple Macintosh computers. This is the part of the operating system responsible for managing the desktop — locating documents and folders and handling the Clipboard and Scrapbook. For System 6, and earlier versions of the Mac OS, MultiFinder was optional. Since System 7, MultiFinder has replaced the older Finder.
