Version: Folder Guide 1.1
Pros: This tiny little program has undoubtedly saved me hours upon hours of annoying window/folder navigation several months into using it. I use it at home and work to instantly navigate through my most commonly used folders. It has speed up my navigation in my own computer 100 fold.
The program is small, unobtrusive and simply stores itself in your desktop/windows explorer right-click menu. It only takes one slot. Once you click the folder guide in your menu, you instantly have all the directories you have stored. 1 more click and you are there. This freed up a lot of icons off my desktop and task bar (i.e. my music, etc.)
Absolutely bug-free, after months of using this program, I have not had one problem, crash, lock up or anything (XP Pro) regarding a negative experience. If you do any kind of project work with miles of directories to double-click, download this application immediately and save yourself, your wrist and fingers the hassle. Trust me, a must have, you cannot go wrong with this.
I just happened to pop in here to check for an update but found none, 1.1 seems to be the only version. Thought I would take the time and say how good this utility is. PC Magazine.com (how i found it)and a host of others have it as a top essential free utility for Windows. I cannot agree more.
Cons: The only negatives I give this program is that you cannot add separators and it cannot access 'My Computer' or any removable media (CD's, flash drives) as a choice to instantly snap you to a location. If I had those two things, I would be in hog heaven. If only this was included in any Operating Systems...

"Quick access to your Folders, the Easy Way - Great Tool"
Pros: The main Pro is it saves a huge amount of time trying to find your must used and lesser used Directories.
Probably has saved me a Light Year already!
easy to Use! and Free.
What more can I say " Does exactly what it says on the Tin?"Cons: would like automated backup of the Folder List
Can be done manually through menu.
What I am really trying say is that when you add a new folder to the list I wish it would make an automated backup of the folder list in a place of users choosing.Summary: 1. Easy to use.
2. Self explanatory.
3. Does exactly what it says.
4. Have used it for more than a year and had no problems. read more -
