atw: Windows Explorer tip

Lots of really useful tips over recent months, so here's one from me.

On a Windows system, if you frequently work with files scattered over many
folders and a number of drives, it can be tedious expanding the Windows
Explorer tree to get to things.

There are various ways to automate navigating to folders, such as creating
specific folder icons on the desktop, adding entries to the start menu etc.

The method I have found suits me best is to save Windows Explorer folder
locations as Favorites:

1. In Windows Explorer, click Favorites then Organize Favorites.
2. Click Create Folder.
3. Name the new folder "Explorer Locations" or something similar then click
Close.
4. In the Windows Explorer tree, select the folder you want to add to
Explorer Locations in Favorites.
5. Click Favorites then Add to Favorites.
6. Select the new "Explorer Locations" folder, change the name in the Name
field (optional) and click OK.
7. To go to your new favorite, click Favorites, select Explorer Locations
then click the relevant entry.
