Platform SDK Shell >> [OT] Creating a folder like My Documents

by Anders Eriksson » Wed, 02 Feb 2005 15:39:37 GMT

Hello!

This may be a bit off-topic but since the experts obviously are here and
not in the other places I already have asked, so ...

I want to create a folder that acts like 'My Documents' but points to
c:\program files\ instead.

I want the new folder, 'My Programs' to show on the same level as 'My
Documents' in Explorer, i.e. direct under Desktop.

How do I do this?
Am I forced to create a NameSpace Extension or is there some existing
software or some hack that I can use?

You could create a folder shortcut. I think the official method is to
right-drag the Program Files folder into My Network Places; create a
shortcut; then move the resulting shortcut wherever you want.

Hmmm... I can't do this! Maybe this is a Windows XP thing. I'm using
Windows 2000
