Shortcuts are aliased folder or file shortcuts you can put anywhere for making navigation simple... it's use for other more advanced things for many applications too. On OSX there appears to be no such thing except the normal unix way of doing it, aliased linking. For most OSX users (not me) this is too advanced. There are 3rd party tools to help simplify it but it's insane Apple didn't add this functionality into the menu system. Absurd really. Oh well. OSX does alot of weird shit, this isnt the first. (Sort by 'Kind' anyone?... lol.... "Kind"....). This is nothing like shortcuts in Windows, Windows has an area on it’s file browser that acts just like the sidebar does in osx, it’s nothing new.

Clicked everywhere and everything, but stubborn refusal! If it makes the slightest difference, it's an intel mini with OSX 10.4.10) But some positive too - I like reading your posts - entertaining.
