Here is a simple but useful trick to add your favorite software to access from My Computer {now it called ‘Computer’ only! not ‘My Computer’} window, all you have to do is just copy and paste those shortcuts which you like to appear in Computer:
1. Go to following folder:
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts
The user %userprofile% is the location like; ‘C:\Users\ABC’ where ‘ABC’ is the user name
So in my case I would open;
C:
Users
ABC
AppData
Roaming
Microsoft
Windows
Network Shortcuts
2. Copy a shortcut
For e.g. I’ve copied Calculator from start menu by right clicking on it and selecting ‘Copy’ option.
3. Paste the shortcut in “Network Shortcuts” folder
4. Start ‘Computer’ from start menu and you will see those shortcuts you have added, under ‘Network Location’.
You can add files, folders, and application in this folder! and have direct access to theme through ‘MY Computer’!
