From then on, when you want to access the file, just double-click the alias and the
original file will open in the appropriate application.
To create an alias, right-click or CTRL-click the file or folder you want to create the alias
for, and choose ???Make Alias??? from the menu (or select the file and press z-L). A new duplicate
icon of the original file is created and the name of the file is appended by the word ???alias.???
Notice the new icon has a small arrow in its bottom-left corner; this is another indicator the
icon is an alias.
Place the alias wherever you like so that you have easier access to the original file, folder, or
application.
Look! Quick! It??™s Quick Look!
Quick Look, not to be confused with QuickTime (discussed in Chapter 10), is an oh-so-cool way
to view your files??”without actually opening them. Talk about revolutionary! You can browse an
entire document without once starting up the program that created it.
Open a Finder window and navigate to a folder containing the document you want to review.
Select the file and then either click the Quick Look icon (looks like a small eye; see Figure 3-7)
in the Finder??™s toolbar or press the SPACEBAR to open Quick Look.
