Solved Unable to add a Library shortcut

[Migelo]

Hi!

I once removed my Documents shortcut from Libraries shortcuts in Windows Explorer but now, I want it back.
I can't really explain it good, so see this picture:

So, is there a way, to get shortcut to Documents back there next to Pictures, Podcasts, Subversion and Videos?

Best Regards

Solution: The trick is to right click on your Documents library and click "Show in navigation pane", thanks to boohbah.

Hello Migelo,

I'm not sure I understand what you meant, but you already have a "Documents" library in your screenshot.

If you like, you could use the method in the tutorial below to include whatever folders you like in the "Documents" library.

Hope this helps for now,

Hi Brink!

Let me just thank you for the many tutorials you've made which have helped me a lot during the past years!

I want the shortcut to be on the left side:

If I try to drag and drop it, it says: "The source and destination file names are the same."

im using win 8 at the moment but can you right click the libraries title in explorer and select restore default libraries. i ask as im not sure if its a win 8 thing or if its possible in 7.

Doesn't do anything for me =)

does that mean the restore link is there but didnt work or its not present in 7.

also if you right click the documents icon in the library window, is there a context menu "dont show in navigation pane" to tick or untick.

edit actually it is a click for dont show in navigation pane and a click for show in navigation pane.

And that fixed, it. I must be blind to not have seen it before xD

Thanks!
