This is a neat utility - a big thanks to the authors. It is fast, small, efficient and easy. The way software should be written. I have downloaded hundreds of utilities and only kept 4 or 5. This is a keeper. Easily lets you add new directories and then easily move to them later, from about anywhere. I especially like being able to move around in the "Save as" dialog box. This is a gem!

I have been looking for a way to access some of my folders quickly. I have a combined method of different input peripherals and shortcuts, but for some tasks it is not fast enough. This little extension to the Windows Shell is very handy, fast, easy and low on system resources. It is a must. I would recommend this to everyone.

I just love utilities that are fast, simple to use and very small. Folder Guide is a shell extension that works by right clicking on your mouse to quickly do a number of tasks including going to different directories or accessing a drive quickly. I was in the habit of making shortcuts to everything and then placing them in a file older in the start menu. This is much better and faster. Every once in a while a utility gem comes around that is a must have. Folder Guide is that little gem. These capabilities should have been included in the operating system but thankfully someone saw fit to create this program. To whom ever wrote this program Id like to say: Many thanks for making my life a little easier.

Couldn't browse without it (or could I, but I won't) - Really helpful, access any folder from practically anywhere. Should have been implemented in the OS. Excellent.

I was liking this as I added shortcuts to it, it was pretty cool and very easy compared to the traditional way of navigating to a favorite folder. But it took out one of my other favorite context menu items, which is "empty recycle bin". For some reason, those two do not want to exist on the same menu. So this one had to go. But it is still a neat little app.

Only two clicks required to reach any user-defined favorite folder or drive. Dead simple folder selection process. Tiny and fast. Don't hesitate about using this one.
