I created a shortcut stored above the recent program list, with Internet
Explorer and Windows Mail. Not same as the other folder shortcuts but it
works.

Hello Brucered,

You can set your Personal folder to be displayed as a menu item in the
Customize Start Menu options to easily access the Downloads folder.

Another option is to enable the option to Pin folders to the Start
Menu, then press Shift and right click on the Downloads folder and click
on "Pin Folder to Start Menu". This tutorial below will show you how to
enable the Pin folders option.

Hope this helps,
