Adding a "Documents" Shortcut to Your Windows Vista Desktop
Personally, I find that the folder I access the most on my Windows Vista PC is the Documents folder. I store everything in there; I can't live without it. However, unlike my Windows XP machine which came with a shortcut to the My Documents by default, my Vista rig did not. Fortunately, implementing a shortcut to the folder is a piece of cake.
All we need to do is simply click your Windows Vista Start button and navigate to the Documents link like so:
Followed by right-clicking on it and proceeding onto to Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).
And you're done! Now, let's admire our handy work:
There we have it; A nice little link to our handy Documents folder. That wasn't difficult at all, was it?
okay, this indirectly relates to this post and i was hoping you could answer my question. my documents will not open on windows vista home premium. it's not just my documents its also other important files such as my computer and windows update and control panel. i have tried creating shortcuts and opening from the start menu, nothing happens, could you tell me what you think is wrong and your suggestions on how to fix it.
Thanks,
Frank
Hi,
Is there anyway you can make a KEYBOARD shortcut for the Computer folder?
Best,

I bought a Microsoft Wireless Media Desktop 1000 keyboard for around about $70 Australian. It came with 5 keys that you hold down while your folder is open and it registers that folder. Rather like the old push button radios they used to have in cars. Very handy.
