Alias Your Downloads Folder
Authored by: drdarrow on Jan 07, '05 06:49:23PM

I made a Downloads folder on another smaller drive on the other internal [66mhz] bus (slower), placed an ailas of it on my desktop and pointed all pertinant apps to the alias as "the place to dump downloads"

My desktop lists all volumes (which, of course, I can hide) and a downloads "folder" that is really an alias to a slower drive (which is plenty fast enough to store downloads). Otherwise, my desktop is clean.
