How do I create a shortcut on the desktop to Users[me] in Mac OSX? Ctrl+Click does not have an option for Make Alias on this directory

Or select the folder and chose File > Make Alias from the top menu.

I think the reason the option does not appear is because the
/Users/directory is write-protected, and clicking Make Alias would add a file to the/Users/directory. – NReilingh – 2010-11-30T00:43:47.5771Note also that Cmd-Shift-H will take the user to their home folder (I know that's not what you're asking, but possibly helpful). – shacker – 2010-11-30T01:03:13.777
@shacker, that is extremely helpful ... keyboard commands > clicking for sure ... thanks! – Michael – 2010-11-30T23:00:12.067
