I'd like to add a a shortcut to Finder's Places Sidebar. The folder's name happens to be Applications, so I want to give it a different name since there's already the standard Applications folder there.
Renaming the folder on the sidebar renames the actual folder, which is undesirable because I think it might break the program which uses it.
I've tried making an alias, and then dragging the alias to the Sidebar, but the real name gets used.
Do you know how I can create this shortcut on the sidebar with a different name?

What about aliases? – user151019 – 2011-03-17T13:00:33.507
1When I put an alias in the Sidebar the real name of the folder is used, not the alias' name. – Louis – 2011-03-17T13:08:16.400
