On Windows, the term "alias" is rarely if ever used, so I'd suggest calling them "shortcuts" on that platform, since that's Windows' analogy to the Mac's alias. Plus, on the Windows file properties dialog, there's a similar feature that lets you launch a file using a user-defined key combo – Windows calls that a "Shortcut key." – [[User:Minh Nguyen|Minh Nguyễn]] <small class="plainlinks">([[User talk:Minh Nguyen|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Minh Nguyen|contribs]], [http://mxn.f2o.org/index.html blog])</small> 13:41, 4 Dec 2005 (PST) | On Windows, the term "alias" is rarely if ever used, so I'd suggest calling them "shortcuts" on that platform, since that's Windows' analogy to the Mac's alias.

: I agree, I prefer "shortcuts" over "aliases" - "aliases" just doesn't seem very intuitive . Why not "keyword"? To keep it distinct from bookmarks keywords? - [[User:GavinSharp|Gavin]], 2006-01-03 10:50 PST | |||
