2 Place your cursor over the br01lessons folder in the center pane (Content), and click and
drag the br01lessons folder until you see a horizontal line appear in the Favorites panel.
When a cursor with a plus sign (
) appears, release the mouse. The folder is now listed as
a Favorite.
Drag a folder to the bottom of the Favorites panel to make it easier to locate.
3 Click on the br01lessons folder shown in the Favorites panel to view its contents. Note
that creating a Favorite simply creates a shortcut for quick access to a folder; it does not
copy the folder and its contents.
If your Favorite is created from a folder on an external hard drive or server, you will need to have
the hard drive or server mounted in order to access it.
