Sometimes I get paid for it.

I rely on Explorer (and ExplorerPlus) throughout the entire day and being able to create shortcuts in this way makes navigation efficient. Does anyone realize how much time is wasted in a day, month, year on the job having to click an extra three times every time you enter Explorer? If you do it ten times a day, you may not notice, but if you do it 110 times a day, it adds up and the right index finger gets tired. Thanks Ed!

Navigate in Windows Explorer to the folder you want a shortcut to. Make sure the Windows Explorer window is not maximized. Right click and drag the folder to the desktop. Then select "Create shortcuts here". No switches or variables to deal with. I do this another way. Navigate in Windows Explorer to the folder you want a shortcut to.

This tip is about restricting the scope of the Explorer window so you see only a subset of folders. Try your way and then try mine and you'll see the difference!
