First don't try to force the Mac to work like windows. It does the same stuff but it has a different underlying metaphor.

If I understand what you're asking for, you want to get comfortable with the finder. Switch to the finder and press command-comma to get to the finder's preferences. You might find what you're looking for there. If you can be more descriptive about what you want finder to do or how you want it to look, I might be able to help.

I also highly recommend you read through Mac OS X Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual. It's the best book for getting started on the Mac.
