I’m using some folders over and over again in my daily work routine. My mp3 folder for instance, my profile folder and the folder that contains most of my applications stored on my computer. I have been using shortcuts to access them until now but today I found a free software that adds favorite folders to the right-click menu.
Folder Guide makes it possible to reach any folder that you have added with just two clicks. Adding folders is pretty easy as well. You click on Add in the main program interface and choose an alias which is the name that will be shown in the right-click menu and a path to the folder that should be opened when you select it.
It is furthermore possible to sort the folders in the right-click menu to create a structure that you are comfortable with. You can add folders from removable drives or network drives which is nice if you are connecting those to your computer.

i love this app, but something odd has happened since first installing, i now, from your screenshot, see that it didn’t come about from some problem on my computer such as a software conflict etc, because you’re missing it too.
when i first installed it, and for some time, just above “folder guide” at the top of the context menu, appeared “new folder”.
you might think, what’s so cool about that?
it auto-created bird-named folders–quail, duck, pidgeon, etc. cute, yeah, but also handy when you want to create folders quickly, especially temporary ones.
suddenly it disappeared. i’ve completely uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times to no avail; can’t get it back.
Now if there was a way to add “favorite folders” to the “save as” dialog that would be a time saver.
