Finder GO Menu

Does anyone now if there is a way to customize the "GO" tab on the Finder Menu Bar? In particular, the Finder--> Go --> Utilities seems to look for the Utilities Folder in a preset location. I wanted to be able to change the location and yet still be able to use the GO tab to get there.

thanks

Mac OS X (10.3.x)

Not really. These menus are pretty much customized by Apple in the programming of OS X. If you wish to move the Utilities folder (which is not recommended) then put an alias to the new location in the old location.

Apple specifically recommends that you not move, rename, or remove any OS X files or folders. In general it's a good suggestion to follow. There really is no compelling reason to move the Utilities folder from its default location.

Ok, thanks. I tried the alias solution before posting but that did not seem to affect (in any positive way) the GO menu.

The only reason I moved the Applications and Utilities folders was because the original system disk is only about 5GB.
