Further, this menu item is only enabled if the context menu has been opened for a first–level subfolder of the Favorites node.

Delete all favorites

This menu item permits to delete all currently available “favorites” at once. Keep in mind all corresponding physical directories remain untouched on the local hard drive! Further, this menu item is only enabled if the context menu has been opened for the Favorites node and if subfolders are available at all.

Locate

This menu item allows a direct jump to the selected item’s physical location. In such a case, the jump’s destination is inside folder My Computer. However, this menu item is disabled if currently selected node is already a sub–item of node My Computer or if this node is of type file.

Open path

Using this menu item enables users to open currently selected path within the Windows Explorer. However, this menu item is disabled if currently selected node is either folder Favorites or the My Computer node because both items do not have a physical equivalent on the underlying hard drive.

With this menu item users are able to copy currently selected path into the Windows clipboard. A path name copied this way can be pasted into other programs using shortcut CTRL+V.
