Windows File Explorer Bookmarks?
-
Windows 11 File Explorer has tabs that allow you to open multiple folders, one in each tab. What missing, IMHO, are Bookmarks, like in browsers. There should be a bookmarks bar that hold shortcuts to folders and files I want to get to without having to navigate. Right now, you have to open a new tab, then navigate. A bookmark would be an easy shortcuts to it. Unless I'm completly missing this. Does anyone know if this is possible?
In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice, they never are.” If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

I use the Quick Access toolbar. ALways likes that. I hate the Pin To Taskbar crap and Win 11 Start menu. Is Quick Access side bar something like that??

Open File Explorer and the side bar on the left, on top is the quick access area and below that is your drive(s). If you right click on a folder one of the options is "Pin to Quick Access", it will then show up in the explorers quick access side bar.

It's all possible: Here you go... How To Add And Remove Favorites In File Explorer Home In Windows 11 - Hawkdive.com[^]
That puts them under Home => Favorites - which means you first have to go to Home, then find & click what you're after. Not the same as a bookomarks toolbar.

In Browser you click on Favorites then on a link. In Explorer click on Home then on a link. With two clicks and without navigating - that's great. :thumbsup: EDIT: And as we can have more than one tab, one can be Home tab, and the others can be drives or folders.

Not so. In Windows Explorer, you have to first go find Home. It may or may not be visible. A toolbar is always visible at the top

You seem to be against anything. But - And as we can have more than one tab, one can be Home tab, and the others can be drives or folders. You don't have to "find" home.
I'm not sure what 'Add To Favorites' you're referring to, but I don't see it. See this: [https://www.elevenforum.com/t/add-and-remove-favorites-in-file-explorer-home-in-windows-11.6786/\](https://www.elevenforum.com/t/add-and-remove-favorites-in-file-explorer-home-in-windows-11.6786/) It adds favorites to FILES not FOLDERS. I expanded this path. I want to create a shortcut to open that path in a new tab.
C:\Projects\Clients\Acme\Project 1
There is no 'Add To Favorites'. Not on the right-click menu, nor anywhere in Explorer Here's what I want[^]

You could make a folder called 'bookmarks' on your desktop. Simply populate it with shortcuts to folders and files you want. It isn't a real bookmarks system, but may be the closest thing possible with Explorer.

Sorry - my mistake. 'Add To Favorites' is only available for files. But you can create Shortcuts to Folders or Pin them somewhere. Pin: On File Explorer context menu you should have a possibility to pin a folder to "Quick Access" or "Home" OR create Shortcuts: On File Explorer context menu bottom click on "Show more options" Another context menu appears, select "Send To" Then you can select from sub menu "Desktop" or "Documents" It should also be possible to use a Library and pin folders to this library. https://www.elevenforum.com/t/include-folder-or-drive-in-library-in-windows-11.5956/[^]
