QuickFolderQuickFolder 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:
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:
- 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.
- Right
click on the item created above and add an
item in much the same way as you created the first item.
- 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.

Opening more than just files...
QuickFolder can open more than just files, it can be used to initiate
an email message, open a web link or open an FTP link.
Send an email:
- Specify the email address instead of a
filename as follows: mailto:testemail@madeupname.com
Opening a Web
Page:
- Specify the web address
instead of a filename as follows: http://madeupname.com/testpage.htm
Opening an FTP
site:
- Specify the FTP site instead of a
filename as follows: ftp://madeupname.com/testpage.htm
