My Shell Folder1.0

With the help of My Shell Folder you can put together custom shell directories similar to "My Documents", and place them on the desktop for quick access.This is a feather-light and portable app that lets you get the job done by following some very simple steps. It also provides you with the possibility to roll back changes by removing the newly created folders.

No setup necessary

Thanks to the fact that it's a portable product, you can save My Shell Folder anywhere on the HDD and just click its .exe to run. Alternatively, it can be stored on an external storage device to directly launch it on any machine effortlessly.Just keep in mind that it required administrative rights to run properly. Otherwise, it will prompt errors every time you attempt to create new folders.

Straightforward UI and options

Represented by a classical window split into two panes for creating shell folders and removing them, My Shell Folder lets you indicate the folder you want to access, set its new name, assign an icon, and place it on the desktop and in "My Computer".It can be seamlessly created with one click and viewed in the selected locations by just refreshing them. It's possible to create as many new shell folders as you want. In order to remove them, all you have to do is make a selection from My Shell Folder's secondary pane, click a button, and refresh their location in the disk. There are no other notable options available here.

Evaluation and conclusion

Unfortunately, My Shell Folder failed in its attempt to create new shell directories in our tests on Windows 7, although it didn't indicate any errors. We must also take into account that it hasn't been updated for a long time, and it likely has compatibility issues with later Windows editions.
