Although there are numerous ways to find a folder—opening it from the Start menu, running a search, or wandering around in the Computer window until you find the folder, for example—the easiest ways to move from folder to folder are to use the Favorite Links list and the Folders list in the Navigation pane.
If the Navigation pane isn’t displayed, click Organize, point to Layout on the drop-down menu, and choose Navigation Pane from the submenu.
If that location isn’t included in the links, click the Folders up arrow if it’s displayed.
Click a right-pointing arrow to expand the folder list for that location.
Click a diagonally pointing arrow to collapse the folder list for that location.
Click a location to go to it.
"Adding a Link to a Folder" on the facing page for information about adding other locations to your Favorite Links list.
