Default Add/remove items to/from the explorer address bar?

Hi,

I've been searching the web on this and can't find anything... I'm hoping
someone can tell me if they know of a tweak or application that will allow
me to edit the list of folders that appears in the drop-down address bar in
Windows Explorer. It's really annoying that, for example, when I want to
navigate to 'My Documents', I have to use the scrollbar along the side to
scroll past all the folders I never use.

Thanks in advance,

Joanna

Hello Joanna,

In Windows Explorer_ ensure that you can see the 'Address
Bar' at the top (View/Toolbars and then CHeck "Address
Bar"). In the Windows Explorer Address Bar sim_ply type:
"my documents" (without the quotes) and you will see below
that My Documents is highlig_hted without having to scroll.

Hope that helps.

Hi Gabriele,

Thanks for the tip.

The thing is, with that method I get the (empty) 'My Documents' folder on
the C:\ Drive, not the one under profiles that goes with my logon.
Also, I'd rather go through the annoyance of scrolling than do this typing
as it actually takes less time!
I really want to find a way to customize what's actually in that list when
the address bar 'drops', probably only possible through a third party
program...

Hello Joanna,

Thanks for your response. How about making a shortcut of
the desired folder, to be placed on the Desktop?
(In Windows Explorer cause the desired folder to appear on
the right side, then where it appears on the right side,
right-click the folder and from the resulting menu click
on "Create Shortcut". The shortcut file then appears at
the bottom of the list of files and folders called by
default "Shortcut to ...". Then Cut and Paste this to the
desired place.)

I do not know of the sort of application about which you
have enquired.

(It is possible, though probably unwise, to "hide"
folders.)

Hope that helps.
