Actual File Folders adds two title buttons, called Favorite Folders and Recent Folders. These buttons extend through the entire Windows operating system. It means that you can use them in any common Windows Explorer window, file manager app, and any other software that use system file-related dialog windows, for example, Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer, or Total Commander.

Favorite Folders
The Favorite Folders ia a file folders extension lets you create the list of shortcuts to the folders you use the most often. Then, you can invoke this list in any file-related window of any program and access any of your favorite folders instantly in a single click. This is a good replacement for the tedious clicking to navigate to the required folder through the folders hierarchy. This resembles a list of bookmarks for your favorite websites in your web browser: instead of typing the URL each time you'd like to open your favorite website, you invoke the list of bookmarks and click that site's bookmark to get to it instantly.

You can manage the list of Favorite Folders shortcuts on the Favorite Folders panel. Then, you can invoke this list by clicking the special title button . When enabled, this button will be added to the title bar of any supported window.

Recent Folders
The Recent Folders is a file folders extension tracks automatically which folders you have been visiting recently and keeps the the list of shortcuts to those folders so that you could get back to them instantly in a single click. This resembles the browsing history in your web browser: you can quickly return to a web page you visited some time ago if circumstances require.

Most of file manager programs (including Windows Explorer itself) offer such service; however, the browsing history is available either while the window remains open or in that particular file manager only.

Instead, Actual File Folders keeps the browsing history globally, no matter which program you have used the folder in. This means that, for example, you can open the document in Microsoft Word from some folder, switch to Microsoft Excel and then jump there to the same folder using the Recent Folders history.

You can adjust the Recent Folders options on the Recent Folders panel. The list of recent folders can be invoked by clicking the special title button . When enabled, this button will be added to the title bar of any supported window.
