Quick-navigation buttons for Windows Explorer?

[Chris Johnson]

Hi all,

Just a quick question: I'm looking for some form of extension/plugin for
Windows Explorer (**not** Internet Explorer) that add a new button bar to
the top of the Explorer window. These buttons (probably not more than three
or four) would be configurable so that I could navigate to a particular
directory with a single click on the button, rather than clicking or
browsing up and down the hierarchy.

I realise I can add directories to Favourites, but pulling down a menu, then
trying to browse that menu can be slow. I want something that is always
available for me just to click for an immediate change.

Is anyone aware of any existing functionality (that I just need to switch
on, or tweak through registry) or an extension that I can download?

Cheers,

Chris...

This doesn't seem to do the job -- it just adds buttons to change a window's
behaviour, and doesn't supply short-cut navigation in Windows Explorer,
unless I'm missing something in the blurb about it? Plus I can't see
anything on the ActualTools site that does do what I want...

Click "View", "Toolbars", "Links" to add links. Then go to the
preferred folder, click/drag the folder's icon (left of its title in the
Address bar) to the Links bar.
