Editor's review of Favorite Shortcuts This utility lets you access frequently and recently used files and folders from an icon in the system tray. It makes specific files and folders accessible with one or two clicks. The program's menu also gives you access to up to 20 recently used folders and documents. To add an item to your favorite shortcuts, just right-click it in Windows Explorer and choose the option you want from the context menu. Favorite Shortcuts relies heavily on Windows Explorer for its functionality and doesn't offer any organizational tools for your shortcuts beyond Explorer's standard set of fields and sorting abilities. You have a month to decide whether the functionality justifies the price.
