delete the one on the desktop, create an alias for the one in the correct folder. When you do this, the one on the desktop, the alias in other words will reflect the same content as the original.
To create an alias, find that of which you wish to make an alias, press command-l, name it anything you want right there. copy it to the desktop and clean up after yourself if you wish. ----- Original Message ----- From: "VaShaun Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 4:10 PM Subject: Re: shortcuts Still they don't update themselves. I delete a pod-cast on the desktop it doesn't delete it from the original. My question is why? To continue the file path podcast/macbreakweekly/episode. If this is the alias I put on the desktop as a alias and I delete episode in the alias I still have a copy of what was deleted in the original.
