SharePoint Hive Short Cut (Explorer)

SharePoint Hive Short Cut (Explorer) creates a direct shortcut to the SharePoint Hive-folder for use from Windows Explorer. The shortcut targets either the SharePoint 14-folder or the 15-folder, depending on which SharePoint version is in use. It is intended for people whose work or local setup requires direct access to that version-specific folder through Explorer.

The package concentrates on producing this one shortcut instead of providing a broader set of SharePoint functions. The 14-versus-15 distinction helps the shortcut point to the folder associated with the active SharePoint version. Typical use involves opening that folder during Windows-based work where Explorer access is more convenient than navigating to it manually. SharePoint Hive Short Cut (Explorer) differs from SharePoint.HiveShortcut.Desktop, which places its shortcut on the Windows desktop instead.

Published by Max Melcher, the program runs on Windows and belongs to the System Tools category. It is freeware. The current version is 1.0.0.0. Its focused design suits users who need a version-aware Explorer entry for the SharePoint Hive-folder rather than additional SharePoint management features.
