How to add favourite folders to the toolbar?

[jerry1970]

What MS did to the naviation pane is terrible, I really hate the Quick Access section and everything grouped under This PC. I prefer to have it the old way: drives and folders and separately my favourites or bookmarks.

So I cleared all Quick Access items to minimise that, but it would be wonderful if I could add bookmarks to the StEx toolbar. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

You could add a new command which opens a new explorer window at the specified path:

explorer.exe "D:\my_bookmarked_folder"

Heh! I came here to ask for this feature too. I would love a "Bookmarks" dropdown from the StExBar itself, where I can just quickly click>click and change the current folder to one of my saved ones (or through the context menu)

As a (slightly slower) workaround, I ended up clearing Quick Access and setting it's properties to "Do not add recent files/folders". I created a "Shortcuts" folder on my OneDrive (just so I didn't need to back it up, but it could go anywhere) and put a bunch of shortcut links to all the folders I commonly use. I then "pinned" the "Shortcuts" folder to Quick Access.

It's not ideal, and feels clumsy - but it works.

I tried add command.

explorer.exe "D:\my_bookmarked_folder"

but, open that path on new explorer window. current explorer don't move to that path.

what how to move current explorer to path?

(I want function like drive ber.)

try explorer.exe /n,"D:\my_bookmarked_folder" or explorer.exe /e,"D:\my_bookmarked_folder"
