Direct Folders for Windows

User Reviews

• This is a must-have program

  July 12, 2011

  Pros

  This is one of the first programs I install on any new pc. Once you learn how to use it, you'll never go back to life without it. It helps you jump quickly to frequently used folders.

  Cons

  I can't think of any.

  Summary

  Get it and try it. It is one of my top-10 essential apps.

• Great program, needs some updating for Windows 7

  ln899July 9, 2011

  Pros

  The program really helps in navigation. I use it daily, constantly. I haven't found anything that comes near to replacing it. It does work in Windows 7.

  Cons

  A bit buggy in Windows 7, and in the latest versions of Firefox. I wish the developer would update it, but there's been no new version for a year or so.

  Summary

  Fine program, too bad that the developer seems to have lost interest in it.

• Direct Folders is NOT a virus (false positive)

  GoPostal123April 18, 2011

  Pros

  Hooks on most open file dialog boxes to change folders fast! Works great on Windows 7 x64 Quickly switch to recent/favorite folders.

  Cons

  Had some issues opening java based open dialog boxes. Support isn't good.

  Summary

  Direct folders hooks to the open file dialog box which could cause a virus scanner to think it's a trojan. This is known as a false positive. Wonderful program, I paid 10 dollars for the PRO version. Despite the limited support, direct folders pro has been a huge time saver. TIP: If you have a file dialog box open, switch to your file manager and switch back to the open dialog box. You can quickly change directories this way.

• Can't live without it, should be a part of Windows!

  danieltanguaySeptember 17, 2010

  Pros

  Takes a bit of configuring but if you save the text configuration file you will never have to retype it again.

  Cons

  Wish it would allow URL links. Also I wish it would allow you to use the middle mouse button without needing to be at the desktop screen. It's annoying having to minimize everything to pull up the menu.

  Summary

  Personally I think this is the best dang launcher out there.

• Reading reviews is HELPFULLL

  EreboAugust 7, 2009

  Pros

  Will be great to see it

  Cons

  Everyone tells me it is virused.

  Summary

  I do not know if opinions are read in dnet. But as far as I can see, they do not. Since the oither usesrs are saying that the program is virused, and it seems nothing is done. I would like to see the program, but for what I have read, no way!! jose. mail me when cnet check or ask for a correction for the program. No way I am going to take the chance
