    WANTED - simple folders w/o all the Explorer stuff


    I maintain various collections (=folders) of files and folders on my desktop for ease of access.
    For these folders I don't need no navigation pane, no search bar, no menu, no nothing.

    I understand that removing the navigation pane is a "for all folders or none" thing. Probably this is true for other components of an Explorer window as well.

    Does anybody know of a way (some 3rd party utility) that implements or supports "simple folders"?

    :)

    Shortcut key for "My Stuff" ?

    Using Windows 10, here's the steps I'm taking to search for files on the computer:

    • Click Start Menu (or tap the Windows key on the keyboard)
    • Start typing a search term
    • Click "My Stuff"
    • When it finds your file, click it to make the file open
    • If you want to open File Explorer and peruse similar files without opening files:
      • After clicking "My Stuff" (in Step 3) go to the bottom area under "Other places to look" and click "File Explorer"
      • File Explorer opens

      Question: I don't want to use the mouse to click "My Stuff" in step 3. Is there a shortcut key?
