Extremely useful tips for creators on windows

Are you tired of your machine working against you? Well you and me both. Creating art is hard especially when your OS actively works against you. This is my personal setup that made my life way easier. First things first. If you use windows the biggest problem is that the window automatically opens up This PC view. Simply put it shows you all your hard drives and most of the time that's not a big deal. But when you are creating that extra hassle can really get on your nerves. So this is the perfect solution.

Most people have separate folders for different things. Myself. I have a comfyui folder, a forge folder, and well many more. And every single time that I have to go into the hard drives drives me nuts. lol. Anyway. Lets say you have a Lora folder that you have to keep going into to save your loras but you have find it in the hard drive every single time. There is a solution. You hover on the folder and right click on it and then you pin it to quick access. What you already knew that? Well lets go even deeper. You can have all your folders in quick access that you frequent. Now lets go to the next level. In file explorer you will go to view>options>general. And choose that the file explorer always opens new windows to quick access. Now you don't need to choose your hard drive each and every time. Believe me. It gets old real fast. After you get used to this way you find out its way easier than before.

If you still want to have the option of choosing your hard drive go to the This PC option and pin that to quick access. This will immensely help you when you save pictures for projects since your save directories are so close to reach. It will prevent clutter and make your workflow quick. If you need to see an example the cover picture is said example.

P.S. I don't know who needs to hear this but windows+prt sc will take a screenshot of your screen. The screenshot directory is in This PC>pictures>screenshots.
