QuickFolder

QuickFolder is a MS Windows program that sits in the system tray, storing your favorite local and network folder paths, allowing you to access them faster than by browsing with Explorer.

Screen shot:


QuickFolder Sample

As can be seen above, I have created three groups ('Projects', 'My Stuff' and 'My Programming') under which I have added a number of folders and files I use often. To open the Excel file labeled as 'Time Sheet', I double click on the item and it opens up without me having to open Explorer, navigate to where the file is and double click it.
Some basic notes on how to use the program:

Right click integration:
  1. Right click in the main window to add a base item. In the 'Add Item' popup, enter the text you want to appear in the window in the 'text' box. Enter the folder you want to link to in the 'path' box. Note: You can leave the 'path' box empty.
  2. Right click on the item created above and add an item in much the same way as you created the first item.
  3. Items, whether a folder, file or group (item with no filename/path) may contain other groups and items.

The system tray icon not contains all the items in either treeview (using submenus) or a list format. Both are shown below.
