What is an alias?
An alias works like a remote control; it can be used to open files, folders, or applications from places such as the desktop or the apple menu. Select an item such as a file, a folder, or an application, then, under the File menu, choose Make Alias. The alias will appear next to the original icon with its name in italics. You can then rename and move the alias anywhere you want. Because an alias is not a copy of the program or file but only an additional icon, it takes only a small amount of disk space and makes finding and opening the item you need easier and less time consuming.
