All of my Sidebar shortcuts go to folders on an external hard drive where I keep all my working files. I use shortcuts to these folders often, but when I disconnect the hard drive to pack up my laptop on the go and reconnect my external hard drive, the shortcuts are gone. Is there any way to save the shortcuts and reinstall them?</p>

Apple treats its Sidebar shortcuts differently than the aliases you can make in the Finder for the desktop. Even though the document describes them as an alias, they’re a different sort of creature, because when you eject a volume on which a Sidebar shortcut exists (whether the drive itself or anything on it), the shortcut disappears instantly from the sidebar.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3113075/macs/how-to-make-sidebar-shortcuts-for-removable-drives.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
