My Favorites are My Favorites for a reason.
I access them all the time and when Windows 7 defaults to Libraries from the Quick Launch shortcut, it takes an extra step to get to My Favorites. Sometimes I even have to scroll up to get to the Favorite. I want my Quick Launch shortcut to open My Favorites. If you are looking for that too, here are some easy steps:
- Close any Explorer windows you have open.
- Hold Shift while right-clicking the Quick Launch shortcut. Click Properties at the bottom of the menu.
- Select the Shortcut Tab if it is not already.
- Change the Target to %windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}
- Click Okay.
That’s it! Your Explorer Quick Launch shortcut will now start in My Favorites, giving you quick access to what you’ve selected as your Favorites!
