I like to get immediate access achievable to folders on my desktop, which generally means putting something onto the taskbar if possible. Computer menu as a folder can be added to taskbar for easiest access to all drives. You can use this tip for any folder that you want.

Folder can be added to taskbar, by just right-click on the taskbar and select the Toolbars menu, and then click on New Toolbar.
