Windows 10: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT or Hotkey to a folder or drive not working

Windows 10 offers it but I do not know the magic trick to make it actually work :



Right here windows is giving me hope that this is possible. but so far I have not been able to make it give me a shortcut to a folder. I need it to open it up in a manner that its possible for me to understand what is in the folder by having it like this :



I think they call what is pictured above expanded view?
I do have a folder filled with shortcuts and I have quick access shortcuts but it would save me a great deal of time if I could make it so any time I have to browse for a folder I could use a shortcut key and make it go there.
I can use a hotkey to get to an application that works but it would save a lot of time if I could navigate faster. win 10 pro 1909

Some keyboard shortcuts not working

I have a new Windows 10 desktop machine & like to use keyboard shortcuts to launch programs & folders. Some of them work & some don't. Some work some of the time.

I saw some old threads on this, & tried some of their suggestions, like disabling Services/Superfetch & some background apps. When I tried this, it worked at first. I had no delay on a shortcut that previously didn't work. However, after rebooting, the hotkey didn't work any more.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thank you in advance,

 

1,2,3 hotkeys

Hi,





Hotkeys are keyboard shortcuts that you can use as an alternative to what you typically do with a mouse. You may perform these steps to assign a hotkey to an application, and to a folder and file:

Assign a hotkey to an application:

• Open Start Menu.
• Find the application, right-click on it > More > Open File Location.
• Right-click on the application > Properties.
• On the Shortcut tab, enter the keys you want to use in the Shortcut key box. Windows will add "Ctrl + Alt", however if you'll choose to use a function key or a numeric key, "Ctrl + Alt will not be added.
• Click OK.

Assign a hotkey to a folder or file:

• Create a file or folder shortcut.
• Right-click the shortcut file > Properties.
• On the Shortcut tab, enter the keys you want to use in the Shortcut key box. Windows will add "Ctrl + Alt", however if you'll choose to use a function key or a numeric key, "Ctrl + Alt will not be added.
• Click OK.
