Embedded Files
"Create New Link Widget" button: Clicking this button opens a window prompting you to enter the widget name. After entering the name and clicking "OK," a Windows File Explorer window opens, allowing you to locate and select the files, shortcuts, or URLs to which shortcuts will be created (or copied in the case of shortcuts or URLs) and placed in the widget.
If you click "Cancel," the widget will be created empty. You can drag and drop files, shortcuts, URLs, or folders into the widget, and it will create (or copy) shortcuts from them. This widget creates a folder with a unique number as its name, where it creates and saves the shortcuts it contains. The folder is located at: C:\Users\"YourUser"\AppData\Roaming\WFolder.
When you create, move, or modify a widget, its settings are saved. So, if you restart the application or if it closes unexpectedly, the widgets will be in place with their respective customizations. Each widget creates its own folder.
If you delete a widget (by clicking its "X"), all traces of the folder and shortcuts it contains will be completely removed. Closing the application, shutting down/restarting the PC, or any other type of "shutdown" will not delete anything. Be careful.
Double-clicking a shortcut launches the application if it's an ".exe" file; if it's a file type, it opens the file with its default program; if it's a URL, it opens the default browser; or if it's a folder, it opens its location in Windows File Explorer.
If you want to see the location of that shortcut in Windows Explorer, right-click and select "Show in Explorer."
You can delete shortcuts within the widget by right-clicking and selecting "Delete" or pressing the "Delete" key.
Widget Title Bar Options
Name assigned to the widget. This can be changed by double-clicking, typing the new name, and pressing "Enter".
Folder icon: Opens the folder containing the widget's file, in C:\Users\"YourUser"\AppData\Roaming\WFolder.
Color palette icon: Displays a customization submenu*.
Eye icon: Toggles the widget's visibility in the window menu (Alt + Tab).
Up/Down arrow icon: Toggles the widget's background content.
Minimize icon (-): Hides the widget from all sides. To show it again on the desktop, go to the "Widgets - Show Hidden Widgets" menu or right-click the hidden widgets icon and select "Show Hidden Widgets".
Close symbol (X): Removes the widget, its folder, and any shortcuts it contains. Be careful; remove your shortcuts first.
*Customization Submenu
In this submenu that appears when you click the color palette icon, you can assign a color to the title bar, the background (where the widget links are located), and the shared color of the title text, shortcut text, and submenu text. There are also three sliders: two to adjust the transparency percentage of the widget background and title bar, and the last one to adjust the size of all the widget text.
The symbols will take on the same color as the title bar text.
Notes: 🧐
Keep in mind that WFolder operates under .NET 8. If you download versions without the runtime, you'll need to download it from the official Windows website.
The application creates two entries in the Windows registry. If you uninstall using Bulk Crap Uninstaller, you'll get more details about the leftover files.
