another way to put alias’s to the desktop is to use shortcut command control a
so by going to whatever folder you want! just use that shortcut, one of the
many way to do things on the mac.

Awesome. Of course too many ways to accomplish the same thing, but what I did
find the easiest for me was heading to the iCloud Drive and opening the desktop
folder. That seemed less virtual and more solid.
You guys are all great, and are keeping me enthused with the

Tim,
Okay, then it’s not clear to me just how to get to the desktop. I can select
desktop in the Finder, but cannot paste the alias there. Where exactly (or how
exactly) is the desktop to be found?

When you select a folder in the Finder, you cam jump to the window
with a VO j. Or command shift d to open the Desktop window.

Hi,
I am not Tim. One way is to press CMD + Shift and D keys. This will put you in
a window that will be the Desktop. Another way is CMD + H to hide the App you
are in this should put you on the desktop provided there are no other windows
open.

Hi,
Create the alias in your regular way, copy it using cmd-c, navigate to the
Desktop and press cmd-v to paste it to the Desktop.

Okay, I’ve managed to do this a few times, but it’s always seemed to be a
hit-and-miss proposition. I’d like to have an alias to a file show on my
Desktop so I can quickly open it. Creating the alias is simple. Finding where
to paste it is not.
