A. Add aliases to your toolbar
- Add aliases to the top of your toolbar by dragging the icon of the file or folder over a finder window toolbar.
- Wait a few seconds until a plus appears next to the filename, then let go.
- You now have an alias to that item on the top of every browser window.
B. Customize Toolbar Aliases
- Create an alias of the folder you want to add to your toolbar
- Rename the alias to something shorter.
- Follow the above instructions to add this alias file to a finder window toolbar.
- Clicking on this item in your toolbar now takes you to the original folder.
- store the alias file you created in a common aliases folder or within the original folder (maybe in a folder "zzz" so that it is out of your way).
C. Reorder/Delete Toolbar Aliases
- Hold the command-key and drag a toolbar alias to reorder.
- Drag the toolbar alias off of the window to remove it.
Go Go Gadget toolbar!
