We have multiple drives. So if we have something important we need to access and it\u2019s buried in K:\\ backups\\digital photos\\autumn\\2010\\family\\October\\New England\\ \u2013 to get there, the usual way, takes a lot of clicking. Right? Right!<\/p>\n<p>And while it\u2019s true, Windows Vista and Windows 7 users can add any folder to their \u201cFavorites\u201d and it will appear on the left edge of Windows Explorer, if you have a lot of favorite folders \u2013 you\u2019re going to have a mess. It\u2019s true. If you only have two or three favorite folders and you\u2019re using Vista or Windows 7, you probably don\u2019t need our freeware pick this week.<\/p>\n<p>But if you have a lot of folders you need to access often \u2013 or if you\u2019re a Windows XP user, you need our freeware pick of the week because, well, because you\u2019re going to be amazed at how easy you can access every one of those folders you need to access frequently. All you have to do is right-click, choose Folder Guide on the menu, and go directly to any of the favorite folders you\u2019ve added.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to see a picture? OK, good idea. A picture sayeth a thousand words, and frankly we\u2019re tired of typing \u2013 it\u2019s been a long day!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2011\/folderguide1.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"InfoAve Premium\" width=\"456\" height=\"205\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>See, we\u2019ve added some of our most often used folders to Folder Guide. If we wanted to access say Backups, we just click on \u201cBackups\u201d. We\u2019ll have you know that the folder \u201cBackups\u201d is located at K:\\ 2011\\Stationery Files\\Backups\\Backups1. It\u2019s a lot easier for us to access that folder using Folder Guide than it is to click \u201cComputer\u201d, click \u201cK\u201d, click \u201c2011?, click the \u201c+\u201d to expand the folder, click \u201cStationery Files\u201d, click \u201cBackups\u201d then click \u201cBackups1?. You get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>You say you don\u2019t have a lot of folders? You should! Organizing your files, images, digital photos, backups, music, documents into folders and sub-folders is how you keep your computer organized. Having files scattered in the root of any drive is not only sloppy, it\u2019s disorganized. And worse, if Eightball came to your home and looked at your computer and saw all those \u201cloose\u201d files in the root of your C:\\ drive, she\u2019d laugh. You don\u2019t want her laughing at you do you? Of course you don\u2019t. And you can\u2019t just throw a bucket of water on her to make her go away either \u2013 she doesn\u2019t melt.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, It\u2019s simple to add any folder to your Folder Guide favorite folder list. And, anything you add to the Folder Guide list, shows up when you right-click on any folder. You can add favorite folders to Folder Guide by right-clicking the folder you want to add and choose \u201cAdd to Folder Guide\u201d. If you\u2019re a purist, you can also open Folder Guide and click the \u201cAdd\u201d button in its toolbar and browse to the folder you want to add. Eightball is a purist, I\u2019m an impurist. You might say I\u2019m impure. I don\u2019t mind. It\u2019s a well-known fact anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway\u2026 the screen shot below shows you the simple Folder Guide interface \u2013 and we\u2019ve captured a shot of the \u201cDid you know\u2026\u201d dialog which gives you little tricks and tips on using the program. They\u2019re very good, but if you don\u2019t like them, you can shut them off. We\u2019d suggest you not do that, you might actually find the tips offered useful &#8211; we did.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2011\/folderguide2.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"InfoAve Premium\" width=\"545\" height=\"435\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>By now, you\u2019re probably dying to get your hands on this little gem, and we\u2019re doing nothing but irritating you.
