What is an active folder?

Answer 1

Active Folder is an application that will ease the access to your favorite

folders by providing yiu access to files significantly quicker than usual.

Just add your most visited folders and files to its list,

and you will have them waiting for direct access

in context menu of Open/Save dialog.

If used from system tray, Active Folder will automatically open

Windows Explorer in desired folder or start an application

associated with chosen file.

Active Folder is a simple utility that can save you loads of time.

It is designed to solve the problem of quick and easy access to the

most important folders. Now you just need to add them once to

the Active Folder's list and afterwards have them ready for direct access.

Right-click on any folder or file within Explorer will

show you a context menu with Active Folder as a new option that leads

directly to the list of folders you have chosen before.

Besides, that list contains two more options: Add and Activate for adding

new folders to the list, and Settings for maintaining the list and changing

application's behaviour. If you wish, you can, in the same way,

use Active Folder within Open/Save dialogs!

Now the best part. Whatever we said about folders works for files too! So,

your quick access list can contain frequently used documents together with

desired folders, and why not, try adding some applications' executive files to

complete the list, and use Active Folder as a quick launch utility

for either folders, documents or applications. Active Folder does not have

to stay hidden under context menu.

Let it run in system tray and have it available all the time for the quickest

possible access to your folders and files. You are not limited with number

of folders or files that you can add to the list, but you can limit the number

of items that will be displayed in context menu. Put the most important

items on top of the list, and access the rest through More.. option that

will show up when necessary.
