If you use a particular file or folder frequently, you can access it quickly by placing a shortcut to it on the Desktop, on the Start menu, or just about anywhere you want.

Open the window that contains the file or folder for which you want to create a shortcut.
Right-click the file or folder, and choose Create Shortcut from the shortcut menu.
