To access any folder quickly what procedure you apply? There are few programs and folders that you open regularly so you want to place these folders to specific location from where you can fetch them quickly. Windows 7 allows you either to create a shortcut of that specific folder on desktop or add its link in Favorites. Today you will see how to get any frequent used folder with single mouse click. Have a look!
- Explore Windows Explorer and navigate to path containing desired folder that you want to access quickly.
- Once you find it, right click on that folder and select “Create shortcut” from popup context menu. Here one of two actions will occur as given below:
- Windows 7 will create shortcut of folder inside the folder that you opened (folder that contains your specific folder). Right click on shortcut that you created recently and select “Cut” from context menu. Now paste it on your desktop.
- If the specific folder is located inside protected or special operating system folder such as “Program files” then Windows 7 will open a dialog box with confirmation message: “Windows can’t create a shortcut here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?”. If you click “No” button, nothing will happen. Click on “Yes” button and it will create shortcut directly on your Windows 7 desktop.
Now you can open folder directly from desktop without accessing it from location inside Windows Explorer.
