The Shortcut - Yahoo! Widgets

Designed as a quick launcher for Yahoo! Widget Engine, The Shortcut - Yahoo! Widgets is a simple gadget that creates a shortcut to the folder of the software framework, which contains all installed widgets. Users can easily locate and access missing widgets, remove the ones they're no longer interested in, and organize them in various directories.

Although this application framework released by Yahoo! was discontinued some time ago, it can be downloaded and utilized at the present since it's still functional.

Once the tool is integrated with the dock of Yahoo! Widget Engine, it automatically opens and shows the developer's logo, which should launch the widgets folder on click.

If this event doesn't take place, it's probably because the default path set to the gadgets directory is faulty. In this case, users can access the configuration panel of The Shortcut - Yahoo! Widgets to specify a different path by typing it, pasting it from the Clipboard or resorting to the built-in file navigator.

There might be a minor issue with the widget, though. The file browser is not designed to indicate folders but only files. An error pops up if attempts are made to mark a folder. To fix this problem, users can point out to a widget inside the folder, confirm the action to exit the file navigator, and remove the last part of the path that references the file, leaving only the folder behind.
