If you need regular access to a specific pane in System Preferences, you can get there quicker by creating an alias. LifeHacker shows us how…<\/p>\n
I tend to turn Internet Sharing on and off a lot, and was tired of having to go through the whole process of switching it off and on every time. I created a simple shortcut to the Sharing Preference pane by going to \/System\/Library\/PreferencePanes\/ and dragging the Sharing.prefpane file to my desktop while holding Cmd & Option to create an alias. Now, opening the alias goes straight to the Sharing pane and saves me lots of time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It’s not anything super technical (since we already know how to create aliases), but it is a good reminder that all these things are hidden away in OS X’s system files somewhere. A good place to stick this alias would be somewhere in Leopard’s stacks, so you can get to it quickly in a click or two. Check out the video to see a demonstration. Of course, remember that you can also access many preference panes by hitting option and the corresponding function key on your keyboard (i.e. Option+Volume Up will take you to the Sound preference pane).<\/p>\n

Don’t forget, that if System Preferences is open, you can right-click on the System Preferences Dock Icon to show all the Preference Panels in a pop-up listing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
