Is there a way to change the order in which directories are displayed (non alphabetical)so that I can access a directory beginning with "v" for example without having to scroll? I realize that I could rename it but that is a bad solution and would undo a lot of links. This directory falls under the Documents directory of my User section and it would nice if the directories you access often could appear higher in the list without having to scroll through others that you use less frequently as well as all the standard Windows stuff.
 
After you open the Windows explorer window, try typing the letter "v" (or whatever) on your keyboard.
 
I know that. I guess I just wasn't thinking. Thanks for the reminder.
 
Unfortunately, that's a workaround, not really the answer to your question - I don't believe there's a way to do that, but it would be a nice feature under certain circumstances.
 
I don't know if there is anything you could do with "Tags" if you Customize the Folder (right-click) and using the Documents template for the folder. Apply a "Tag" to a specific file and sort the folder by "Tags"?
