Total Commander

Windows 7 has nice Favorites group in a tree, you may add folder links into it and see them at the top of folder tree.

I think it would be useful to have something similar in TC's tree - one showing same contents as Explorer's Favorites and other showing TC hotlist items.

(icons for groups and name for hotlist group are subjects to change)

Explorer's favorite folders are just LNKs in folder %USERPROFILE%\Links so TC may open this folder if user selects 'Favorites' item. And, TC may display this group in any Windows version (if this folder exists and contains folder links).

If user doesn't want to see folder links, he may collapse group. Also there may be some INI option with flags: 1 - show favorites group, 2 - show hotlist group, 4 - show theese groups below 'Desktop' group.

+1 Support. I also feel there should be several hotlists depending on the task; eg one for copying, one for moving stuff, and another one for synchronizing my USB stick.

I think it may be realized via subfolders in %USERPROFILE%\Links folder - any number of subgroups will be possible.
