[QUOTE="mac57, post: 354455, member: 17052"] Did you know that in addition to this, Mac OS X aliases follow the file, even if you move the file AFTER you have made the alias! The alias still works, no matter where you move the file after alias creation (at least on the same drive - I haven't tested this between drives). This is just another example of Mac OS X superiority over Windows, where an alias is a fixed link. Move the file and the alias becomes crippled. [/QUOTE]
