Customize Windows Vista Favorites Links list in Windows Explorer
By: Arie SlobWindows Vista's Favorite Links are part of the Navigation Pane in a Windows Explorer window. It contains shortcuts to the Documents, Pictures, Music, Recently Changed, Searches, and Public folders by default (Figure).
You can easily customize the Favorite Links in Vista: Open Windows Explorer and simply drag a shortcut into the Favorite Links section or to copy it there (Figure).
You can also type shell:links in Vista's Start Search box and press enter. This will open the Links folder in your profile. Here you can copy and paste a shortcut to have it shown in the Favorites Links list (Figure).
To remove a shortcut from the list, you can right-click it and select Remove Link (when in the Favorites Links list) or Delete (when in the Links folder).
If you want to restore your Favorite Links to Vista's default, right-click an empty area in the Favorites Links list and choose Restore Default Favorite Links. This will restore the shortcuts to Documents, Pictures, Music, Recently Changed, Searches, and Public folders.
