This is just a quick tip

I have my File Explorer shortcut setup to open to my D:\ drive folders where I keep all my data files, so going to the C:\ does require extra clicks to display the C:\ drive.

If you have your system configured as I do, this is a tip on how to open the C:\ drive in File Explorer quickly.

To open File Explorer to the C:\ drive:

Press WinKey + R keys to open a Run box.
Press the backslash (\) key.
Press the Enter key.

3 actions instead of double-click on C drive icon on the desktop ?

IMO 3 actions (keyboard keys I can enter faster than File Explorer can open) and File Explorer opening to the location I want is faster than opening File Explorer to the D:\ drive location and moving in File Explorer to the C:\ drive.

BTW:  I have my PCs set for single click.  I try to avoid all the clicks I can.
