Thanks as always esther. I actually avoide the sidebar and usually avoid the doc because they appear to be redundant but read up on it after the discussion got started and I goofed and it is unfortunate that the help for it does not seem to list the shortcuts.

You can delete them, rename, them, etc. by using the contextual menu once you've moved focus to those items in the sidebar. Also, to generally navigate and see attached devices, etc. use the Finder keyboard shortcut Command- Shift-C to see devices and network accessed items attached to your computer. This would be a way to put an external disk in your sidebar, for example. (Use Command-Shift-C to bring up items that your computer recognizes, like network devices, etc., select them, and then use Command-T to put this in the sidebar.) The other similar keyboard shortcut command that I find very useful for Finder and for dialog windows is Comand-Shift-G (go to folder). You can use this and then type in the path name of any folder on your system. This could be system files like /Library/Preferences or another user's account on your machine, etc. To review a number of these keyboard shortcuts for Finder (like Command-Shift-A for the Applications folder, Command- Shift-U for the Utilities folder, Command-Shift-H for your home directory, Command-SHift-I for the idisk if you are a MobileMe user, etc.) check out Tim Kilburn's VoiceOver web pages. Here, for example, is the page for shortcuts: http://homepage.mac.com/kilburns/voiceover/shortcuts.html There is also a general page for finder.
