In case you're not familiar with them, you could use an Alias on your
desktop to give easy access to a file that's buried deep on your hard
drive. You could also use an alias to have a large file appear to be in
multiple locations without sucking up a bunch of disk space. You can
even make an alias to a network drive and then you don't have to do the
command-K thing to reconnect.

Hi,
* An alias is what Windows users call a Shortcut. It is simply a file that
points to something else usually somewhere else.
* Only certain file types will usually open automatically. Apple calls them
"Safe" files. Safe files are things like dmg files, movies, pictures, pdf's
and text documents.
* Not sure why GarageBand Help isn't opening for you. It appears to work for
me. I pressed cmd-shift-question then arrowed to GarageBand Help and it opened
right up.
HTH.
