This is a small utility that solves a problem I’ve had for years. I can’t believe I never thought of this.

How many times a day do I go drilling down umpteen levels of folders. Literally hundreds. Sometimes, I totally forget where I was going or what I was doing and then go do something totally different - leaving a task totally unfinished.

So, this utility adds on to windows explorer. You double click anywhere in windows explorer and you get a list of folders that you manage. Then click on the folder and it immediately opens. No drilling, no fuss no muss.

Free for home use.  Cheap for office. See it here. http://www.codesector.com/directfolders.php

Lets just get this out of the way : The Coldfusion part was pretty (more…)
