I am going to show you the quick steps to create a Windows shortcut to your site definitions. Anyone working with site definintions or just working with SharePoint 2007 probably already has a shortcut created. Also if you went to TechEd and saw any of Todd Bleeker's presentations then you have probably already seen what to do. By the way this is just the standard way to create a shortcut to a folder in Windows.
1) On the taskbar right click and select Toolbars->New Toolbar…
2) In the New Toolbar dialog navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE and click OK
Presto! Down in the bottom right you now have a quick way to get to your site definition or xml files.

Last night's Geek Dinner was a great one, and heavily attended too. We had about 18 people RSVP that they were coming and all but one showed up. We sat outside on the covered deck at 5 Seasons brew pub, which features some of the best food I've ever had at a brew pub. Conversation ranged from WPF application ideas to video games and beyond.
