Another way to create a screen sharing shortcut

Recently, I read a hint about how to use Automator to execute a shell script to open a screen sharing session to another machine. It turns out that there is a much simpler (and faster) way to accomplish this.

Note that this method opens the session much more quickly than the Automator shell script method.

[crarko adds: I tested this, and it works as described. This is an addition to this hint which talks about finding the .vncloc files in ~/Library/Application Support/Screen Sharing. Today's hint creates an alias to the corresponding file there.

This previous hint shows how to make a .inetloc file for vnc in Safari which accomplishes the same thing. There are a lot of different ways to make shortcuts fot screen sharing, and this is another addition to that list.]
