Go to in a web browser. Search for 'Mountain Lion,' 'Lion' or 'Snow Leopard.' Click Add to Bag. Finalize your purchase and follow the prompts to download the OS. If you have access to a Mac running OS X Yosemite or older it is possible to see old versions of Mac OS X in the Mac App Store. Yosemite, Mavericks and Mountain Lion can all be seen here.

This will work in 10.4, also. And there is a logic here, in case anyone is wondering. The Desktop folder is located within the Home folder, so it makes sense that Command-Up Arrow would open Home in the situations described, for even when the user only clicks on the Desktop, that's the folder which the FInder considers selected.

I'm pretty sure this hint works with all the shortcuts from the 'Go' finder menu:
⇧⌘C: Computer
⇧⌘H: Home
⇧⌘D: Desktop
⇧⌘K: Network
⇧⌘I: My iDisk
⇧⌘A: Applications
⇧⌘O: Documents
⇧⌘U: Utilities

Works at least as far back as 10.3….

The Desktop <b>is</b> a window. Took me years to work that one out, as well, but that’s how it is. You can &#8984;&#8677; to it and everything.

weird that you guys see it as far back as 10.3 ... I use this command constantly... really weird that I NEVER did this accidentally in the last 4 years or so... anyways. glad to finally post a hint here! Long time reader! -Tom

We need a new OS bad to get fresh hints... (I fear)

OK it's not new info, but surely there's people out there that will find this useful. Who on earth would search for the original hint? People who never considered the possibility? Or people who would know what to search for and therefore already knew the hint?
There's a lot of new Mac users out there. If every currently relevant hint ever posted were to be posted again, it wouldn't bother me too much. I'll just skip them in my RSS feed.

You have a good point; Just yesturday, I found several useful hints (some as far back as '03) when I was searching to see if some I discovered recently were already posted. But this site is mainly an archive of hints. How do we decide how old a hint can be before duplicating it? Is it for each OS version? Probably most of the hints valid in one OS are valid in the next version, so we would end up with, for example, 500 hints for Tiger, then 400 of those would be duplicated for Leopard plus 500 new ones, then 800 of those would be duplicated for SL plus 500 more new ones... (These #s are purely made up, but I'm sure you see my point.) The site would really need to be redesigned to show old hints that are still valid - maybe have a button on old hints where users can confirm what OS versions they are valid in, and each OS version could have a separate archive for links to old but valid hints? I'm not really sure what the best way to do this would be, but I'd love to hear ideas since I am trying to design a similar site.

How about adding a 'Re-posted' tag to appropriate hints, and putting that check box in the Contents tab of the reader's account pane?
Other ideas: (this is all out-of-my-box thinking) have a quick response for a new hint, where readers could attach a link from an old one and cause the new hint to become a 'Re-posted' hint. That should allow crarko to quickly verify its veracity. Sensitive readers could even have an option that causes all hints to be 'Re-posted' for a period of time (say 3 days?) to give people with stronger stomachs a chance to bag and tag the hints correctly.

The one I always use is command+n since it works whether of not you're on the desktop or have an active finder window already open. This will always result in a new window displaying the home folder instead of
command+up opening a new window from the desktop
or
going up a level in the current window
and
command+shift+h opening a new window from the desktop
or
opening the home folder inside the active finder window.
Granted, each shortcut has it's uses, but I'm a fan of consistency and thought I should point this out.

As such the Desktop is a folder in your Home Directory.
When you do command and up arrow you are 'opening enclosing folder' which is this case is your Home Directory.

I’ve been using Mac OS X daily since 2001 when I purchased my Titanium PowerBook. I still can’t get used the Home and End key behaviour.

If, like me, you want Home to send you to the start of the line and not to the top of the document, then create a file called DefaultKeyBinding.dict in your ~/Library/KeyBindings folder (might need to create that folder too) with the following contents:

This remapping does the following in most Mac apps - including Chrome (some apps manage their key handling directly):

  • Home and End will go to start and end of line
  • ShiftHome and ShiftEnd will select to start and end of line
  • CtrlHome and CtrlEnd will go to start and end of document
  • ShiftCtrlHome and ShiftCtrlEnd will select to start and end of document

Note that you need to reboot after creating this file for it to take effect. Also make sure your editor does not append TXT to the end of it!
