Does an even more EFFICIENT method exist to access
scattered common files?

Posting some *convoluted* method to access a CSV file - from which you than
have to copy-paste aline into the "start" "run" box again - is neither
efficient, nor in any way an example of "access scattered" files.

But yes, I do.

Whats wrong with creating a single subfolder in the start menu - or even
just on the desktop or quicklaunch area - and put links there to whatever
you want ? Everything can stay "scattered", and still easily accessible.

Than again, that might be a too simple method for you and too easy to manage
too.

Worse yet: You only have to remember a single subfolders location - which is
pretty-much in your face - and you can just click any of the links there by
their (descriptive!) names /and/ have, when you hover over them, some extra
popup help too. It can even store the arguments you always need to start
that one program with (as needed with something like "control
appwiz.cpl,,1" - which you would either need to memorize or copy-paste outof
that CSV file every time).

Nahhh. Too easy, can't be good in /any/ way. Right ?

Wrong.
