Now it seems I can't do this anymore, i.e the document to which the hyperlink refers to is just selected in Finder, the document itself is not opened.

Ah, good to know.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much, Kino.

It is in fact amazingly slow right now. I used Migration Assistant so I may have brought some old issues with me from my old G4.
1) The startup process is very slow. I press the power button and
nothing happens. After 7 seconds I hear a low click and then a loud chime. It takes 55 seconds until I see the Desktop. I guess this is normal because I have 500 GB hard disk and it is nearly full (I always try to keep about 20% free, now I have 50 GB available). Besides I am running MaxMenus which always need some time to load as well as a few menu bar applications. The Dock is also full (= 86 applications and folders, is that perhaps too much?).
2) I have been using Spell Catcher X 10.3.7 (<http://www.rainmakerinc.com/>) for some time and I suspect this software to be responsible for some instability I have been experiencing lately.
Is anybody here using Spell Catcher X?
3) If I work many hours nonstop my MacBook Pro tends to become increasingly slower, it feels as if all the available memory is gone (I have 4 GB memory). When I then restart the computer (I just did it right now) all the icons are suddenly on the right side of the screen *although* the view options in the Desktop are "Arrange by NONE". This can hardly be considered normal.
I have deleted the Finder preferences in /Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and I have already updated all the third party Preference Panes to no avail.
Obviously it is not possible to repair a large number of Java Permissions permanently; Disk Utility "repairs" them and the next time I run Disk Utility the same Java files are back again with "wrong" permissions. People have told me that I should ignore this because Disk Utility is apparently not working correctly under OS 10.6.5.
Before I install the whole system again I'll try to do the following successively:
A) Remove Spell Catcher X
B) Use another User Account
C) Run Disk Warrior
Best wishes,
Žorvaršur
