Default How to select Favorites in Windows Explorer

How can I set and access favorite explorer links, such as c:\program files,
c:\downloads, and etc. Otherwise I have to navigate to them from My
Computer.

Right-click on the folder, drag it to the desktop, release and select Create
shortcuts here.

Careful, left-click will MOVE the folder!

OR Else,

On the Start-Run line just type Program Files or Downloads and hit
Return.

Just use Downloads without the "C:\"

You may have to experiment a little for the other folders.

In any Windows Explorer Window, dragging the icon in the address bar to your
Desktop will create a shortcut to that address. You can also right-click a
folder, and choose Send To Desktop (create shortcut).

Too, if you enable the Navigation Pane in Windows Explorer to always be
shown (Organize Layout Navigation Pane), you can create your own
shortcuts under Favorite Links, at the top of the Pane, by adding the
shortcut to C:\Users\(Your Name)\Links.
