Name and Icon Options for the Alias
Icon Options
Use the "Icon:" menu in the window to specify what kind of icon the alias will have. The options are:
|
Default - Use the standard Finder icon for the alias. |
|
Blank - Use a custom icon on the alias which results in no icon appearing in the Finder, only the name. This is useful for saving space if you prefer to have the smallest possible aliases, typically for use of the desktop. |
|
Small Only - Use a custom icon on the alias which results in only the item's small icon appearing in the finder. This is also useful for saving space on the desktop. |
Locking the Name of the Alias
Use Lock Name option to lock the name so it won't go into editing mode when clicked. This is especially useful if the alias is created with no icon.
