Here is a simple tip that I just started using myself. Do you have a folder that you constantly need to open throughout the day?
Well, I do. While developing software I always need to get to the distribution folder to check on files and make sure our daily compiles are running smoothly.
Here is how it works. You create a short-cut to your favorite folder, and then in the properties you can assign a hot key.
That way, instead of clicking forever, you can simply hit a key combination and the folder will appear.
Let me walk you through it. First, I am going to create a shortcut to the folder on my desktop:
Right click on it, and go to properties. A window will pop up. Click on the edit box that is titled “Shortcut key”
Now that it is selected…press the key you would like as your ‘hotkey’.
Then, when you want that folder…simply presss CTRL-ALT + your hotkey, and the folder will be there in seconds.
