Most computer users use one main location where they store most of their files: My Documents. Often, My Documents contains many sub-folders containing other sub-folders. This structure makes it quite a hassle to get to the right location when opening or saving files.

But not with Folder View. Because Folder View enhances Windows and the Windows file Explorer in four ways:

Toolbar
Folder View adds a toolbar to the Windows Explorer. With this toolbar, you can navigate to every folder you use often in a single click. Every folder you like can be added, no matter where they reside: on the harddisk, a removable drive or the network (local, ftp, web-share).

Quick Copy/Move
Folder View integrates with the right-click menus of files, allowing you to copy and move files and folders extremely quickly.

Applications
Folder View integrates with common Open/Save dialogs; giving you quick access to your folders from within almost all applications. The menu has the same structure as the toolbar in Explorer. Folder View also updates the locations on the left side of the dialog to the folders you most recently used (in Windows and Office 2000/XP).

Tray Menu
Folder View puts an icon in your system tray (near the clock), from which you can quickly launch all folders you use often, using the same menu-structure as the toolbar.

And the most useful feature is the recent folders menu. The toolbar and the three menus all contain a special 'Recent Menu', which remembers your most recently used folders. This menu makes it for example very easy to reopen a folder you accidentally closed.

WOW This is very useful. Thanks for the stuff, I will use this. I have been waiting for something that has the Recent Folders menu. It is very useful after going through files and not remembering what I just closed.

hey that is pretty neat.

ad that in with Direct Folders, and you have a totally new way to see folders!

Glad someone added in the breadcrumb bar to this, it has been around in Linux forever, and i was waiting for some one else to make it so.

EDIT:
seems to be a problem with the installer, i gets to where the EULA should be, and it crashes on me.
