When there’s a location that you need to go to frequently, it’s a good idea to add a link to that location. After you add the link, it appears in your Favorite Links list in every folder window.
If the Navigation pane isn’t displayed, click Organize, point to Layout on the drop-down menu, and choose Navigation Pane from the submenu.
Navigate to the location that contains the folder you want to link to.
Drag the folder onto the Favorite Links section of the Navigation pane.
If you want to change the order of the links, drag a link up or down into a new location.
To remove a link, right-click it, and choose Remove Link from the shortcut menu.
See Also
