Better trust the executable. Softpedia also corrected the version number:

v1.3.4

Thanks, those are interesting apps. I really find ShortPopUp especially useful.
v1.3.4
The latest version of QuickWayToFolders is not 1.3.4 but 1.3.5.
v1.3.4
FYI: reminds me on similar (simpler) standalone Apps ...

v1.3.4
A great yet simple way to achieve native multi-desktops in Windows 7 x64 (I mean desktops as physical locations, bearing in mind the default one is usually located at %USERPROFILE%\Desktop):
1) Define any number of folders in QuickWayToFolders (QW2F) with "Shortcut Type" as "Local Path" (e.g.: Desk2, Desk3, ...);
2) Customize them through QW2F's "Options | Browsing options", taking care to check "Hide toolbar For Home Folder" and "Save Icons Positions For Home Folder", setting "View Type" to "Medium", as well as a different "Show / Hide Hotkey" (Win+F2, Win+F3, ... are viable choices);
3) For easier visual identification, set different background pictures for each folder in "Customization";
4) Open "FoldersOptions.ini" in QW2F folder with any text editor and change all "IsMaximized=0" to "1".
Launch and you're good to go -- to get back to the default desktop, press Win+D. There are a few quirks to iron, but not a bad solution in the end. :)
v1.2.10
kevin: having same issue -- emailing the dev
V1.2.5
I extracted the zip to a folder on my thumbdrive and attempted to launch QuickWayToFolders.exe (thumbdrive attached to my netbook - WinXP SP3). I got "The procedure entry point ShutdownBlockReasonDestroy could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll."
This looks like it might be a great addition to my portables -- any help would be appreciated!
V1.2.5
If there is a reason for no screenshot could it be mentioned please - I know Donald has a good nose for fine software
V1.2.4
I like this application as a desktop with root access to my flashdrive.
My settings are as follows;
QuickWayToFolders.ini

This allows me a desktop feel from the explorer function.
The version discrepancy should be noted -- the changelog at http://jacquelin.potier.free.fr/QuickWayToFolders/history.php stops at v1.3.4 ...
v1.3.5
