Finder - Placing folder aliase in the dock makes things MUCH faster
If you drag ANY folder (which creates an alias) to the dock, you then have a continuous, one click access, to everything in that folder, including ALL subfolders. This applies to drives also. There is usually no reason to have to open windows in finder and then drill through them. It can all be handled from the dock. Pre OSX, you could do the same thing by placing an alias to any folder, including drives, in the Apple menu.

To see this is action, just drag your hard drive to the dock ? near the trash where folder alias are stored. Then click on it and follow the subsequent menus.
