This is a very short post about a cool tip that I believe a lot of Mac OS X Lion users don’t know about. It’s about the cut and paste command.

Mac users know keyboard shortcuts are the way to go in OS X. Using the keyboard to perform routine and repetitive tasks is a great timesaver and really ups your skill level, but did you know you can add or even customize keyboard shortcuts? How to Copy and Paste on a Mac. This wikiHow teaches you how to copy and paste text or files on your Mac computer. While your Mac's built-in menu bar is the preferred way to copy and paste information, you can also use your Mac's trackpad.
Windows users might not know this but all the versions of Mac prior to OS X Lion didn’t have the cut and paste functionality in Finder (Mac’s Windows Explorer) and users always had to copy, paste and then delete the file from its original location. OS X Lion took care of this but seems this trick hasn’t gone mainstream yet.
So here’s how you cut and paste a file in the Finder in Mac OS X Lion using a keyboard shortcut.
1. Select the file and do Command+C as usual. Yes, we are using the same Copy command that we’ve been using.
2. Now, instead of doing Command+V which you’ve been accustomed to, do Command+Option(or Alt)+V. What this will do is automatically get rid of the file from its original location while copying it to the new location.
So, the cut and paste starts with the same step of copying the file first and the only change is the keyboard keys combination in the next step. The inclusion of Option key does the trick.
This shortcut also works with multiple files. So, Mac OS X Lion users, enjoy! ?

Hi,

First off, putting stuff (links/aliases, files, folders) on a Mac Desktop is not good practice, because it leads to some extra work on the CPU, since the Desktop is a folder like others, OS X will index all its content every time your Mom starts her Mac.
This said, the best way to make an alias easy to use is to place it in the Dock via drag-n-drop, not on the Desktop. If placed in the Dock, your alias will always be within reach. All you have to do is locate the server folder you want to share in the Finder, and drag it to rightmost part of the Dock, where there are already some folders such as Applications, Documents, Downloads, etc..
Alternately, you can also create a new Shared item in the left pane of your main Finder window. In the Finder preferences, you can also choose to show all connected servers on the Desktop, which can come in handy too.
You may have to restart the Finder (or reboot the Mac, or just log out and back in) for the latter to take effect.

Oh, I almost forgot: you can also copy and paste the folder in question in the Desktop folder (left pane in the Finder main window), and it'll appear on the Desktop itself.
