			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/cody.jpg" alt="cody" title="cody" width="94" height="80" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12306" />How often has it happened to you that you closed a folder only to reopen it again several minutes later? There is not much that you can do but to click all the folder icons again until you reach the desired folder in the folder hierarchy. Third party tools or desktop indexing programs might help but the majority of users is not using them. If you want something simple, lightweight that works out of the box then Folder Cache might be exactly what you are looking for.</p>
<p><span id="more-12308"></span>The portable software program has been designed by <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/">Donation Coder</a> member Miles Ahead. It is a compiled AutoHotkey application which means some antivirus programs might identify it as a false positive. The program remembers the 24 most recent folders of the Windows operating system and provides easy access to them when needed.</p>
<p>It will sit quietly in the Windows system tray for most of the time and can be activated by pressing the keyboard shortcut [Shift Page UP]. This will open the main program window displaying the most recently opened folders.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/folder_cache-500x205.jpg" alt="folder cache" title="folder cache" width="500" height="205" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12307" /></p>
<p>The most recent folders are located at the top. A double-click on any folder will open it in a new Windows Explorer window. It takes a second or two to open the folder meaning the delay is noticeable but still way faster than having to open the folder manually in Windows Explorer again.</p>
<p>There are a few aspects that might be worth changing. The delay should be investigated and if possible reduced to speed up the process. It would be nice if the software developer would add preferences to the computer program. Thinking of settings to change the number of recorded folders. Another interesting feature would be the addition of permanent folders in the interface that the user could add.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.favessoft.com/hotkeys.html">Folder Cache</a> is a lightweight tool for users who work (a lot) with Windows Explorer. </p>
