> What happens if the original folder is renamed? Then, intuitively, the pinned one get the new name. So you always know what folder is pinned.

I disagree. I would expect MY bookmark to automatically have its target destination updated (renaming a folder should trigger not invalidate pointers that point to it) while preserving the name I gave to it.

Think of the following: You program in three different languages, and they all have a project directory called "src". You want to have direct access to these directories so you pin them in the explorer. Now you have three pins that are all called "src" and I am not allowed to renamed them "C src", "C++ src" and "Rust src". I do not want to use shortcuts because these would only be available in one folder, while sth that is pinned in the explorer is always right there.

Yes, you're right. My Idea doesn't work. May be here is something helpful for you.. I have set a few hardlinks on my win10 pc and use them to separate data onto two sdd's, but still accessing them out of "one" file table, like all is on c:\. Its possible to go that way too.

mohamads comment is so far the easiest one, but, as he notice, one step more.. and you told it already.
