Favorites in the Dock by Default
Authored by: tomem on Dec 19, '02 09:07:01AM

Since this doesn't seem to be obvious, it would certainly behoove Apple to put the Favorites folder in the Dock by default as they do the user home folder. All the complaints about the lack of a configurable Apple Menu are so easily answered in this trivial way. You can go wild organizing all your aliases in there with total freedom, and what you build will be preserved as you update the OS over months and years (unlike the Apple Menu of OS 9). In addition, the Favorites "menu" is right up there at the top level (on the Dock), instead of being enclosed inside an Apple Menu Items folder.

My set of Dock folders includes Favorites, main hard disk, home, and documents folders. But I confess that I don't remember well what is in the Favorites folder and what isn't, and so tend to go to the hard disk first for apps and utils. Subfolders in the Favorites are even harder to remember, for me.
