Alias of home folder on desktop?
I just bought my first Mac in about 9 years, so while I'm not completely new to Mac OS X, it has been a while. I wanted to place an alias of my home directory on the desktop, but it appears I can't do it. I don't understand why. I've settled for putting it in the dock, but that's not what I wanted to do really. I thought I'd check to see if I've missed something.
