Among its innovations, Windows 7 has got a Favorites list on the left side of Windows Explorer. Such a feature gives the user a quick list of the most used locations on the computer. Furthermore, the Favorites list contains by default the following links: Desktop, Downloads and Recent Places. If you want to add more items to the Favorites list such as folders, libraries etc, here is a quick and easy trick to apply.
- Browse to the item (such as your drive, folder or libraries) you want to add to Favorites.
- Please, make sure that the full path of such an item is fully visible and correct on the Address Bar.
- Right-click on Favorites (right on the bar containing the yellow star).
- A menu should appear. Select Add Location in Browser to Favorites.
- Done!
- Alternatively, to make things easier, you can just drag-and-drop a folder or a library or whatever you want to the Favorites, to automatically add a link to it.
If instead you want to delete an item from Favorites, here is another simple trick.
- Right-click on the item in the Favorites.
- A menu should appear. Select Delete.
- That’s it!

would be great, but you can bookmark home directories of ftp site you can only bookmark subfolders of the ftp site

This approach used to work for me but it has somehow stopped working. I can see the starred Favorites bar but it won’t expand and I can’t add any items to it. Also, the right pane is blank if I click on Favorites even though it is initially populated when I first open Win Explorer 7.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the information – it’s exactly what I was looking for. I have now deleted some unwanted items from my favourites list and will probably even add some at some stage in the future. Cheers
