Make a Keyboard Shortcut to Open a Folder on Windows 11

To begin, open the parent folder of the folder which you want to launch with a keyboard shortcut.

Right-click your folder (not the parent one) and select Show More Options > Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut). This will place your folder’s shortcut on your desktop.

Access your desktop by pressing Windows+D. On the desktop, find your folder’s shortcut. Right-click this shortcut and choose “Properties.”

In the Properties window, at the top, click the “Shortcut” tab. In the Shortcut tab, click the “Shortcut Key” field and press the shortcut you want to assign to your folder.

Then, at the bottom of the “Properties” window, click “OK.”

And that’s all there is to it.

To now open your specified folder, simply press the keyboard shortcut that you assigned above. Enjoy!
