Make use of BreadCrumb Bars 'Copy Address' to Create Shortcuts of 'Buried Folders'.

In the BreadCrumb Trail Bar of Vista's Explorer, if you rt click in the Address bar on a folder name, a context menu appears which includes:
Copy AddressCopy Address As TextEdit Address command
The last one, viz 'Edit Address' command, just duplicates the effect of clicking in an unoccupied part of the Address bar, and is thus, in a way, well, redundant

The next one is of some use !

'Copy Address As Text' creates a text string of the path. You can use it to paste it into any text receiving application like Notepad, Word, etc.

However the first one is rather useful.
The 'Copy Address' also does the same thing by allowing you to paste the path in such documents or emails.
But it does more !

First, it also lets you copy the entire contents of the current folder into another location, such as the Desktop !
It even lets you create a shortcut of that folder, anywhere, easily ! In fact with it, you can create shortcuts of deeply buried 'folders', that are not part of the Windows file system, like the Control Panel applets !

Rt click on the folder and select 'Copy Address. Then go to Desktop. To Copy entire contents of the folder, select Paste. To create just its shortcut, select 'Paste Shortcut'

Sure you can also Rt click on the applets to create shortcuts too ! But this one lets you create shortcuts of some, which you otherwise could not have !

Lets take an example. To create a shortcut of say, 'Manage Network Connections'.
Open Control Panel > Network And Internet > Network And Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections

A window will open which will have the path as Control Panel\Network And Internet\Network Connections Rt click on it > Copy Address. Next rt click on the desktop, and choose Paste Shortcut.

And you will have created its shortcut on the desktop. You can do so for several such more !
