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.
