A while ago I did a post on adding icons for SharePoint 2010 and MOSS 2007 so that you get icons in document libraries for PDF and other files that do not have file association icons built in. Well if you run your SharePoint on Server 2008 R2 called by many including myself Server 7 you have the ability to create libraries to give access to the folders that you regularly access on the file system.
So how? Well it works the same as on Windows 7 from the start menu click on your name then right click on libraries and choose new library
Name your new library in this example I called mine SharePoint Files. Then if you then navigate to your favourite location C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14 and right click on a folder you can include in your new library as illustrated below
If you then add more folders you then end up with an aggregated view of all your favourite locations and easy access to your SharePoint files. If you then tie this tip in with my previous “Easy access to STSADM” you can then save yourself hours of navigating via a command prompt and windows explorer.
Enjoy and Happy Easter Dave.
