We have over 100,000 folders on our computers. We have multiple drives. \t\tSo if we have something important we need to access and it’s buried in \t\tK:\\ backups\\digital photos\\autumn\\2005\\family\\October\\New England\\ – to \t\tget there, the usual way, takes a lot of clicking. Right? Right!\u00a0 \t\tAnd while it’s true, Windows Vista and Windows 7 users can add any folder to their \t\t“Favorites” and it will appear on the left edge of Windows Explorer, if \t\tyou have a lot of favorite folders – you’re going to have a mess. It’s \t\ttrue. If you only have two or three favorite folders and you’re using \t\tVista or Windows 7, you probably don’t need our freeware pick this week. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But if you have \t\ta lot of folders you need to access often – or if you’re a Windows XP \t\tuser, you need our freeware pick of the week because, well, because \t\tyou’re going to be amazed at how easy you can access every one of those \t\tfolders you need to access frequently. All you have to do is \t\tright-click, choose Folder Guide on the menu, and go directly to any of \t\tthe favorite folders you’ve added.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Would you like to see a picture? OK, good idea. A picture sayeth a \t\tthousand words, and frankly we’re tired of typing – it’s been a long \t\tday!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

See, we’ve added some of our most often used folders to Folder Guide. If \t\twe wanted to access say Backups, we just click on “Backups”. We’ll have \t\tyou know that the folder “Backups” is located at K:\\ 2011\\Stationery \t\tFiles\\Backups\\Backups1. It’s a lot easier for us to access that folder \t\tusing Folder Guide than it is to click “Computer”, click “K”, click \t\t“2011”, click the “+” to expand the folder, click “Stationery Files”, \t\tclick “Backups” then click “Backups1”. You get the idea.<\/p>\n

You say you don’t have a lot of folders? You should! Organizing your \t\tfiles, images, digital photos, backups, music, documents into folders \t\tand sub-folders is how you keep your computer organized. Having files \t\tscattered in the root of any drive is not only sloppy, it’s \t\tdisorganized. And worse, if Eightball came to your home and looked at \t\tyour computer and saw all those “loose” files in the root of your C:\\ \t\tdrive, she’d laugh. You don’t want her laughing at you do you? Of course \t\tyou don’t. And you can’t just throw a bucket of water on her to make her \t\tgo away either – she doesn’t melt.<\/p>\n

Anyway, It’s simple to add any folder to your Folder Guide favorite \t\tfolder list. And, anything you add to the Folder Guide list, shows up \t\twhen you right-click on any folder. You can add favorite folders to \t\tFolder Guide by right-clicking the folder you want to add and choose \t\t“Add to Folder Guide”. If you’re a purist, you can also open Folder \t\tGuide and click the “Add” button in its toolbar and browse to the folder \t\tyou want to add. Eightball is a purist, I’m an impurist. You might say \t\tI’m impure. I don’t mind. It’s a well-known fact anyway.<\/p>\n

Anyway… the screen shot below shows you the simple Folder Guide \t\tinterface – and we’ve captured a shot of the “Did you know…” dialog \t\twhich gives you little tricks and tips on using the program. They’re \t\tvery good, but if you don’t like them, you can shut them off. We’d \t\tsuggest you not do that, you might actually find the tips offered useful \t\t– we did.<\/p>\n
