This s/w allows you to create alias for ANY folder. This is similar to what the web does with using names instead of IP address (e.g. www.cnn.com instead of 122.1.2.2).

This program allows you to name say, c:\my documents\my pictures\family photos\wedding pics as simply Wedding Pics. Then whenever you want to get to that folder simply right click anywhere on the desktop, choose folder guide, then choose Wedding Pics. 3 whole clicks!

You can also use this in 'Save As' dialogs. Simply right click in the area where the folders are and do the same thing.

I don't know why Microsoft didn't include this as a default tool. I wonder if it's in vista or not.

A great program that does something right....and it's FREE!!!

Thanx

You're welcome

It's is a GREAT tool. I get so sick of going to my computer>c>program files..ugh!!

Thanks so much!

not MUCH people says:

MUCH THANKS

really, really something!

see Launchy also. You can get a quicksilver-like interface to drill out frequent folders and files.

Route, pow, and mug
You're welcome, glad I could help

Sam,
yes launchy is nice, but that is just for launching programs. This program is for opening directories, plus you can use it in save as dialogs...you can't do that with Launchy.

However the two together would be a great combination!

I would also recommend stablauncher.

Actually, you can open folders with Launchy. I do it all the time. You have to type in '.directory' in the file-types dialog.

thanks will use it myself
