Realizing that everyone has their own way of getting to the goal, as a fairly mac newbie, I have to say that David is right, at least for me. At least try it both ways. I'll bet you'll find that having the apps folder open at all times is, well, just plain fast. I command tab there, hit the first letter of the app I want, then tab if it's not the first app starting with that letter, and press command o. It takes literally seconds.
But you'll have to figure that out for yourself! <smile> Marcy On Jul 20, 2009, at 3:47 PM, David Poehlman wrote:that is if you happen to be right there. my point is that if you have to restore your mac, it won't be right there and you'll have to create it again.
Now, on booting your mac, your apps folder can stay open all the time and even when you boot the mac, it will be right there.

I boot up, and all I have to do is open it. Donna

Making an alias isn't difficult and some people like to have the things they use a lot right on the desktop.
