Those of you who constantly find yourselves frantically searching for your frequently-used folders or files may find the freeware application “Shock Bookmark” to be of some use.
The program adds a drop-down option to your right-click menu in Windows Explorer to which you can easily add shortcuts to folders, files, other applications and URLs.

If this type of application sounds familiar, you’re 100% accurate: there’s plenty of similar programs out there. First off, there’s Moo0 RightClicker. This one enhances your right-click menu in Windows Explorer by not only allowing you to add shortcuts to your favorite directories but also by enabling certain other types of functionality like “duplicate current window.” There’s a free version of Moo0 available but the full version is going to set you back $38.
Just as a side note: I installed Moo0 a few months back and began noticing that shortcuts to Office 2007 applications from within the start menu stopped working. Turns out it’s an actual issue – caused by a 3rd-party shell extension.
Another great freeware utility for adding shortcuts to frequently-used folders is Folder Guide. I’ve been using this one for some time but the only problem is that you can only add shortcuts to folder and not URLs, applications, etc. like Shock Bookmark can.
