Favorites Folders

Top  Previous  Next

 

Here you can define a set of up to 120 folders you use frequently !

This will help you to open your favorite folder quickly, in Explorer or Command Prompt window.

 

You can assign a "name" to each favorite folder you define. The order of appearance will be the same you defined here.

 

 

Commands

You may click on proper toolbar or right-click your selection for a popup menu.

 

New

To create a new favorite folder. You should select the folder you want to set as favorite, and then specify the name you want to identify this favorite (if you wish, or left it blank to assign the full path of favorite folder as "name"). You may also drag and drop a file/folder from Explorer.

Light2

 

If you want to insert a "line" to separate your favorites folders on the system tray popup, just set any folder as "favorite" and type - as name (the minus character).


If you want to separate your menus into a new popup, set a "menu break" on your Favorite folder's name. One of two reserved characters inserted as the first character on the name, will cause a "menu break" to another popup. Those characters are / and +. You may use the popup on selected favorites to toggle menu breaks on or off.
