Find Windows folders fast with Folder View

The folder system used by successive versions of Windows has been so successful because it is easy to understand and pretty effective at keeping large numbers of files and folders organised in a way that makes sense.However, there is no obvious way for Windows XP users to drill down quickly to open a folder hidden away inside half a dozen other folders.It’s possible to create shortcuts to folders that are hidden away deep inside the hard disk, but it is also a quick way to clutter up the Windows Desktop, which defeats the object.Instead, try something like Folder View, the free program described in this Workshop, which adds an extra toolbar to Windows Explorer and makes it easy to find and open any folder, fast.
