I'm a firm believer in keeping as empty or as organized a desktop as possible. If I can keep clutter down on my desktop, it says to me that I've got all of my files and folders organized, and it helps me clear my mind. That and it gives me a better look at the rotating scenic desktop backgrounds I have. With Folder2MyPC, a freeware app that allows you to add items to your My Computer window, you can keep your desktop clear of clutter and shortcuts and instead organize your shortcuts right underneath your hard drives.
If you find yourself going through My Computer to get to files, drives, and folders, this might be a useful utility. Folder2MyPC allows you to completely customize the My Computer window by adding shortcuts to folders, shortcuts to applications, control panels, and essentially anything else you use often. Folder2MyPC is a small download, only about 441KB. And since Folder2MyPC doesn't have to run in the background or stay running in order to keep your My Computer preferences alive, you only have to run the app when you want to edit, create, or add new shortcuts....
...Even so, I found the program worked without issue, exactly as described. If you find yourself browsing your files and folders using Windows Explorer all of the time, Folder2MyPC could be more useful than you think. I thought the app would only be somewhat worthwhile, but now it's much easier to just open My Computer to get to my apps than use the Start Menu or let my desktop get covered in shortcuts.

...has just released a really handy application in the CrystalXP.net's gallery called Folder2myPC. It's not a very descriptive title is it? But its concept is really simple: if you use it, you'll be able to add a shortcut to any folder in your "My Computer" folder!
But the application can do more! You can chose how you want to open the folder (in a new window or not), and customize the shortcut's icon. It's really simple to use (here's proof: I can use it!)

For many computer users the My Computer window is the first step in finding a folder. Folder2MyPC allows you to add favourite locations to be added to this window.
The interface is very simple to use and it is possible to browse for a folder to add to My Computer, rather than having to remember it exactly. A custom icon can be used to make the folder more distinctive...
Verdict
A very useful utility that really does save time
