Create the Folder Shortcut: - Navigate to the target folder located deep within the directory structure. - Right-click on the folder you want to create a shortcut for. - Select "Create shortcut." 2. Move the Shortcut to the Root of C: Drive: - Once the shortcut is created, it will usually appear in the same directory as the original folder. - Cut the shortcut file by right-clicking on it and selecting "Cut." - Navigate to the root of the C: drive (C:\) in File Explorer. - Right-click in an empty area and select "Paste" to move the shortcut to the root directory. 3. Rename the Shortcut: - Right-click on the shortcut in the C: drive root and select "Rename." - Give the shortcut a name that helps you identify the folder it points to. By following these steps, you can effectively create a shortcut to a folder deep in the directory structure and have it displayed as a folder under the root of the C: drive for easier access.
