Title: [Tip] Quickly re-open a folder you accidentally closed
Post by: Paul (Lead Developer) on March 21, 2026, 11:37:16 AM
When you accidentally close a folder in Windows, it can be annoying and laborious to manually navigate back to re-open it. Not anymore! With AlomWare Toolbox, you can quickly get back to it (and also closed apps and docs) in just a few clicks.


Note: For privacy, you can disable the Map tab's tracking function at any time with a single click.

I remember seeing an action step that re-opens the last used folder without having to use this tab? To bind to a hotkey? I checked the "Computer" action steps but it's not there?

It's the "Folder: Re-open the last used" step. Not a "Computer" step. Set this action to a hotkey to use it:

(Start)
HOW TO USE: Copy from Start to End, and then paste into an action.
REFERENCE : See an example of pasting at alomware.com/paste.png
0001 Folder: Re-open the last used ""
(End)

That's it! Works great.
