How to Add any folder to favorites in Windows 7 and Windows 8?

A Folder is a location that stores multiple files and other folders found on Apple Macintosh computers, computers running Microsoft Windows, and other GUI operating systems. You can store files, documents, multi media files (audio, video files).

The "Favorites" folder was first introduced in Windows 7 and it is also there in Windows 8. By default, there are only three folders available under Favorites in Windows Explorer which are  Desktop, Downloads and Recent Places.

You can add your favourite folders to this list. Open Windows Explorer and open the folder which you want to add or pin into the Favorites. Here I will open C:\Program Files folder.




When the folder is open, navigate to the left pane and right click on the Favorites menu. It can be identified by its Star like icon.

Select the Add Current location to Favorites option as shown below.


Your desired folder will get added to Favorites.

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

  So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted.   It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten.  For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
