Introduction to Macs for PC Users

For example, the Finder window has a search box on the upper right side. Click

here to search for items within the Finder program.

Creating Aliases (a.k.a. shortcuts)

On a Macintosh, desktop shortcuts are called “aliases.” It would be entirely

possible to create all of the Mac’s folders on the Desktop, eliminating the need

for aliases. However, once a large number of folders had built up, the Desktop

would be cluttered and locating items within the folders would become difficult.

Maintaining an organized system of folders and subfolders (for example: a

Documents folder could contain Work and Home folders) makes finding items

easier. Also, the Desktop now only contains very important and frequently used

items, making them easier to find.

We’ve already discussed how to create an icon in the Dock in the “Finder”

section (p. 17). Let’s see how to make an alias on the Desktop.

I frequently use the Tutorials folder where I store all of my materials for creating

tutorials. I’d like to make an alias on the desktop for this folder so I can open it

quickly.

First, I’ll open Finder and navigate to my folder. Now, I’ll hold down the apple key

and the option/alt key as I click on the folder and drag it to the

desktop. As I’m dragging it, I see a small black arrow in the

bottom left corner of the icon. When I release the mouse and

keys, I’ve created a handy shortcut called “tutorials alias.” Notice that the icon

still has a small black arrow in the lower left corner, denoting an alias.
