After being fed up with Windows for quite some time, now, I finally made the switch about a month ago and couldn't be happier. I'm already much more comfortable in Mac than I ever was in Windows. Shoulda done this YEARS ago! I don't care who says that I've sold my soul to Steve Jobs. Macs simply work better.
at any rate, there is one thing that kind of has me bugged a little bit - the "Go To Folder:" box. While by it's name, I can't expect it to do more than exactly what it says, is there way to open an application or a document from it, by typing in the text? Whereas in Windows' equivalent, I could type a path to a folder and include the document I wanted out of that folder, and have it open, OR simply type the name of an application I wanted and have that open, it seems you can't do that in Mac.
Is there any way to open applications or documents from the "Go To Folder" box or is there any other shortcut - keyboard or otherwise - I can use to open these items? Call me lazy, but I would rather just type the name of what I want, hit enter and have it open, instead of having to click on the apps folder and look through a list, before finding it and clicking on it to have it open.
