I use the favorites in Windows Explorer quite often to gain quick access to deeply nested folders. But I find it quite annoying always have to click the Favorites button in the menu and then search the favorite I'm lookig for in the dropdown.
Is there anyway to add specific favorites as buttons to Windows Explorer?
I'm using XP x64.
Thanks for any help!
How about this? In Windows Explorer ...
View > Toolbars > UNcheck 'Lock the Toolbars', if already checked
View > Toolbars > CHECK 'Links', if not already
Now position the new toolbar where you would like it, by grabbing, dragging and dropping
Now you should be able to click on Favorites from the menu then click on the shortcut you would like to make a button, hold and drag that menu item link to the links toolbar.
You should now have a button that will do what you asked for. :)

I pressed the right mouse button and selected the "Show All" option.
After that, a lot of duplicates of the same controls appeared. However, there are controls that I have not seen before. The problem is that they are disabled, I can't put them on the form.
I tried to find them in the list by right clicking and selecting "Choose Items...", but they are not in any of the tabs.
How can I find and enable these controls?
Show all will display all controls, for example, the MFC Control you screenshot should be a C++ control:

You created a Windows Forms App (.NET Framework), you just need to uncheck the Show all and all the controls you can use will be displayed in the toolbar.
I need to frequently hide and unhide navigators and inspectors to make room for Interface Builder and complex storyboards. I learned all show/hide shortcuts in Xcode for panes, but can't find any for showing and hiding Document Outline. Is there a way to achieve this on keyboard?
There is no defined keyboard shortcut to show/hide the document outline. But you can define new shortcuts for these actions.
Just open the preferences (cmd+,) and search for "Document Outline" in the "Key Bindings" page.
Just to demonstrate the other solution how to setup the shortcut in System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts.
In one of the Xcode updates 6 or 7.
⌘9 is re-allotted for Navigators > Show Reports Navigator
so,
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > Show/ Hide Document Outline ⌘9
is invalidated by Xcode automatically.
⇧⌘9 is what I chose. in the Keybindings.
I have a application with 2 windows (think like Twitter Timeline and mentions). For now I have been having the menus "Timeline ⌘1" and "Mentions ⌘2" in the "File" menu but this is kind of wrong. So I moved them to the "Windows" menu just by drag and drop.
When I open the application everything is nice, I can see both menu items unter the "Windows" menu. But then when I close for example the Mentions window the menu Item "Mentions ⌘2" disappears and I am not able to open this window anymore.
I have had a look at other applications and most of them have their Menu items to show the windows in the "Windows" menu and they don't disappear either after closing the windows. I am aware of the fact that Cocoa does soma magic with the "Window" menu item and it is quite ok in doing so (because I open some other windows which need to appear and disappear from there), but how can I make those two items kind of static so they don't disappear?
I finally found an answer, in order for them to not be handled by the Windows menu you need to call
[timelineViewWindow setExcludedFromWindowsMenu:YES];
[mentionsViewWindow setExcludedFromWindowsMenu:YES];
and after that add the Menu items to the Windows menu and they will not disappear anymore.
I have a file listing in my application and I would like to allow people to right-click on an item and show the same contextual menu as Finder does. Is this possible?
The same functionallity but for Windows Explorer is discussed in How do you show the Windows Explorer context menu from a C# application?.
You can't extract the Finder's contextual menu in any stable way, no. Neither can you tell the Finder “show your contextual menu here, as if the user had right-clicked on this item”.
You'll have to make your own.
If I understand the question correctly...
Showing a custom icon and action in your Finder Context Menu is now possible in OS X 10.10 Yosemite via a Finder Sync Extension:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/Finder.html
In Windows, in any windows form or web browser, you can use the tab button to switch focus through all of the form fields.
It will stop on textboxes, radiobuttons, checkboxes, dropdown menus, etc.
However, in Mac OSX, tab skips dropdown menus. Is there anyway to change this behavior, or access the above items mentioned, without using a mouse?
Go to System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse, then choose Keyboard Shortcuts. At the bottom, ensure Full Keyboard Access is set to "All controls". It's a long time since I turned it on but I think that's all you need to do
Apple Menu > System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts:
Change the radio button at the bottom from "Text boxes and lists only" to "All controls."
Edit: Dammit. We're a fast group around here aren't we? :-)
I have found that I also need to set accessibility.tabfocus to 7 in Firefox's about:config.
It's in the System Preferences - this blog post shows where the setting is.
