Fast Folder Access

Your desktop can easily become a crowded space, making it difficult to access locations of interest fast. On the bright side of things, you can rely on applications like Fast Folder Access, a Windows utility that allows you to quickly open any user-defined location on your computer.

The whole idea behind the program is actually pretty great: whenever you want to open a specific folder on your computer, simply press the right button of your mouse and there’s a whole menu with your favorite locations waiting for you.

That’s why the configuration screen plays a very important role for this application: it asks you to configure the folders to be displayed in this menu, along with their aliases. This is done in a simple window fitted with a couple of requirement fields, one for the alias and the other for path. You can add a separator line.

Other than that, there are only a few more settings available. These are found in the options panel and let you enable preview image, ask before removing a selected item from the list and explore folders when opening it in a stand-alone window.

It installs and runs just fine and flawlessly performed during our tests, even on modern Windows iterations. Only basic technical computer knowledge is needed to successfully set it up, but a help section is also available to provide more documentation in case you need it.

Overall, Fast Folder Access could come in handy to plenty of users out there, offering a great mix of a good-looking interface and easy to configure features. It can even back up and restore the settings, so users are on the safe side no matter what.
