On a Mac, click on the Finder "smiley face" icon down on the dock.

When you do this, a Finder window will open.

Im stuck on a limited finder window when I open Finder, it brings me to a window that look like the photo attached. I dont know how to make it how it originally was. Its very difficult to find a file im looking for. Ive tried to quit/force quit the app to no avail. Id love some feedback on how I can fix this. Thanks.
