I upgraded to Lion, and my Finder sidebar lost track of all its links.
Lions are prissy cats. Ever since we upgraded to 10.7, several strange glitches have been haunting various Mac|Life staffers. One of the most problematic is a general funkiness with the Finder, specifically when trying to click on aliases in the sidebar. If, when you click on the sidebar, nothing is selected, go to Finder > Preferences > Sidebar and check and uncheck a box. For some reason, this will restore sidebar links. While you’re in there, don’t forget to uncheck any boxes you might not want littering up your Finder sidebar!
Clicking and unclicking any of the sidebar items will “reboot” your sidebar and fix the weird unclickable-item problem.

I cannot believe anyone would use Lion, it's an absolute piece of OS JUNK! Everyone, should uninstall and demand a refund from Apple!
