Creating Quick Access to a File or Folder


If you use a particular file or folder frequently, you can access it quickly by placing a shortcut to it on the Desktop, on the Start menu, or just about anywhere you want. A shortcut to a document opens the document in its default program; a shortcut to a program file starts the program; a shortcut to a folder opens the folder in a window.

Create a Shortcut to a File or Folder

Open the window that contains the file or folder for which you want to create a shortcut.

Right-click the file or folder, and choose Create Shortcut from the shortcut menu.

Drag the shortcut

  • Onto the Desktop.

  • Onto the Start button, and then onto the Start menu when it opens.

  • Onto the Quick Launch toolbar.

  • Onto a link in the Favorite Links list in the Navigation pane.

  • To any folder listed in the Folders list in the Navigation pane, or to any open folder.

Tip

To quickly create a shortcut on the Desktop, right-click the file or folder, point to Send To on the shortcut menu, and choose Desktop (Create Shortcut).
