If you want to verify that the application is a bundle, select “Ctrl” and the mouse button on the program icon. OS X is designed to support double clicking this folder to run the application. When you view the program icon on the OS X “Finder” it will refer to the top level directory that the program is stored vice being a direct pointer to the single executable file on Windows machines. The majority of programs installed on Mac OS X computers come in the form of an application bundle. Instead, Macs are designed to permit users with the appropriate permissions the ability to move programs to the computer’s trash to delete. Mac computers come with OS X installed as their primary operating system and do not have an equivalent to the Windows registry nor the “Add/Remove Programs” helper application found in the Control Panel area of the Windows operating system. A common task that arises for converted Mac users (those who have switched from Windows computing) is uninstalling programs on their computer.
