Vista Tutorial - Favorites in "Computer"

12-25-2007

When browsing through files and directories in "Computer," I often want to
return to a particular directory that I have used before. In the old "My
Computer," this was accomplished by adding the directory to Favorites. Is
there a Favorites in "Computer" in Vista? I can't find it.

In Windows Explorer, you can right- click on a folder and drag it to the
left pane (Favorite Links), release and select "create shortcuts here"
