    Adding shortcuts to navigation pane


    Hello


    In the past I had managed to add shortcuts in my Computer/Video folder in my navigation pane the left vertical bar, but I don't remember how to do this.

    Be careful, I'm not talking about putting shortcuts in Quick Access I never use that.

    Here's a screenshot it's a montage of three captures showing my navigation pane with the shortcuts in the Videos folder, as well as the settings for Thriller the new shortcut I want to see in the pane and Action the old shortcut that appears in the pane as I want.
    You will find that the settings for the Action shortcut is very different from a normal shortcut.

    Sorry that it's in French, I hope you'll recognise the fields.

    Please tell me how to do this, or give me a link to the method.

    Regards.

    :)

    Adding PowerShell Desktop to Navigation Pane?

    Thank you Edwin, I am aware of that however doing so moves all shortcuts in the navigation pane under 'Desktop'. This includes shortcuts that are not actually on the desktop but are in the navigation pane (i.e. Dropbox and in your screenshot Onedrive) as well as any files you have on your desktop appear in the navigation pane making it very cluttered and populated if your desktop is not clean.

    I am wondering if there is a way to make Desktop appear in the navigation pane whilst "Show all folders" is disabled, and would actually open shell:desktop. I suspect it's as f14tomcat says, not possible?

    I think I will have to compromise in that case. I like the way you set up your navigation pane, how did you make the shortcut "Edwin's folders" and populated it?
