Good day everyone,
Please accept my apologies in advance if this topic have already been discussed in the forum. I couldn't find anything to help me, so I I thought to ask.
I am looking for a simple solution where a folders can be access quickly.
I am not talking for a shortcut to a folder or a access to a folder via the quick access in windows explorer.
What I have in mind is something like a floating search box on the desktop, where you can type the folder name, and base on this entity the windows explorer to open the folder location. Please note I am not asking to search for the folder name, because all folders will be in a specific locations on our company server.
All folders have unique name based on our job regester. Which is always 7 characters
For example:
Folder with a name 2550020 will be located in: S:\main job location\sub job location\folder
Where:
- main job location -is where we safe all our registered jobs. This will always be same.
- sub job location - will be a folder with a name based on range (100) of jobs names. Or 2550000-2550099
-folder name wil be the job number itself or 2550020
Or
S:\main job location\2550000-2550099\2550020
For a folder with a name 2550256 this path shuold looks like this.
S:\main job location\2550200-2550299\2550256
What I am trying to achieve is something very similar to a hyperlink in excel to open a location based on a filename variable, but using a windows explorer instead of excel.
Looking forward for any suggestions.
Kind regards
Milen
