As you have decided to add the your own location for the favorite then let me tell you that this can be possible with the help of the Favorite only. Just Open the Windows Explorer and then go to the Folder that you want to add to the Favorite. And now right click on the Favorite and then select the Add current location to the Favorite. This will help you to add the same to Favorite.

To make the folder in the Favorite you have to follow the steps that i am giving you to work with the same. So just follow the below procedure.
  • Right click on the My Computer
  • Click on the Explore from context menu.
  • Go to the Folder from the Left pane
  • Right click on the Favorite
  • Select Add current location to the Favorite from the Context menu
  • Now Drag the Folder to favorite to make the link of the same.

Hi, Before performing the above task take care of the some thing that i am discussing with you. The default Folder for the Favorite are Desktop and more that will be able to store the video and all that you have downloaded will go directly to these folder. SO if you are adding your own folder then before that delete the same folder otherwise the download will go in these folder only. To delete the same just right click on the same and then select the remove from the context menu. This will remove the Favorite's folder.

As you have removed the Folder from the Favorite and now you want to add your folder to it then you have added by the above one. All the data will now store in the same but if you want to restore the default Favorite then what will you do. For that just right click on the Favorite and then Click on the Restore Favorite link from the context menu. That will set back the default folder in the Favorite.
