Using Launchy with frequently used directories

Like many fellow Windows users, I need to reach into various “My” directories like “My Documents”, “My Pictures”, etc. I even have my own folders whose names’ don’t start with a “My” ;-)
Being a command-line fan, I almost always use Launchy to get there. However, these past few days I have been finding myself double-clicking the “My Computer” icon far too often to get to the same bunch of folders.
The techie in me always tries to find a better way to do repetitive tasks. So today’s post is about using a feature of Launchy that I stumbled across by mistake to make this a bit easier and quicker at the same time.
