[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1804717, member: 110816"] I'm not sure how you are creating the alias, but I tried the "ln -s" method I mentioned in my earlier post as well as right-clicking on a folder and choosing Make Alias and moving that Alias to a separate folder. With both of these methods, I could go to the folder where the aliases reside, double-click and be taken to where they point to without any issues. If you get the "too many symbolic links" error, you've basically created an alias to an alias and thus are just looping. So I would recommend, cleaning things out and starting again from scratch.
