Download Folder access on Win 10

[Tekmage]

On Windows 10 the dowload folder is in "This PC>Downloads" it is NOT a folder in the Directory list.

How can I get access to Downloads in Total Commander?

[vianova]

use the command Cmd=cd %USERPROFILE%\downloads

Use the "drive combobox"       (as that thing is called in the Configuration, in help at "User interface" it's called "Drive selection list")
and there the "+ Computer"-entry
and next you will have "Download".

Notice that this does not apply to Windows 7 and earlier (I know this topic is about Win 10)

Quote from another thread:

- Virtual Folders can't be added to the Directory hotlist.

Workaround
Use the real download-Directory instead:
In command line type

Code: Select all

cd %$Downloads%

and add this path to the "Directory hotlist (Ctrl+D)"

Of course a real folder is not the same as a virtual folder. You can actually add a virtual folder to Directory hotlist by using the command:

Code: Select all

cd ::{CLSID key}

For a list of CLSID keys see for example:

So for the Downloads virtual folder, use:

Code: Select all

cd ::{088e3905-0323-4b02-9826-5d99428e115f}

or:

Code: Select all

cd ::{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}

Just remember, some file management functions might not work as expected in virtual folders.

I had the same issue, the best way for me is to pin (lock) the real download folder on the right panel.
