Re: shortcut for accessing the downloads folder?
That was my suggestion a few days ago. It works for me quite fine. Here the script again. Just save it as scpt and give it a shortcut in the keyboard commander: tell application Finder open folder Macintosh HD:User:YourUser:Downloads: end tell Just replace YourUser with the user name of your home folder.

Re: shortcut for accessing the downloads folder?
Something else you can do is to navigate to the downloads folder, press command l on it to make an alias, and copy that alias to your desktop. Then go back to your home folder and remove the original alias. I did this with both the downloads and documents folders. It's very convenient.

I do command shift h which puts me in the home folder, then I type d o w very quickly and bingo, there I am. Command shift h is a god send!
