You know like on windows where you right clicked a program, dragged it to another folder or your desktop and created a new shortcut for it, I used to organise a lot of my games into one shortcuts folder.
Is there a similar way to create shortcuts on the mac, for frequently used games, programs or apps?

Hi,
Yes, in Mac they are called Aliases. You can create them by dragging the app/document/file to a new location while holding down the command+option keys.
Or by selecting the file and pressing command+L.

...and then you can drag your Game Shortcuts folder to the Dock so it's always handy. This makes another shortcut, and the "real" folder stays wherever you put it.
