Cool. Thanks for the report. I just uploaded a new version that adds a new option to set the desktop icon view as shown here in this thread:

What about assigning hotkeys to paths/menu items for quicker switching? Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, etc. Something like that?

If this catches on, I'll almost certainly change the simple edit field to a listview with add/edit/delete buttons and allow hotkeys.

The icon view doesn't work on my windows 8.1 x64
but i'm too happy with the overall tool.
And I wanted to ask cause I'm a total noob at those things if there is any possibility to harm my PC if i use this tool a lot, cause it changes (as i understand) the registry too often. Just to be sure :)

IMO, no, there is not. The registry exists to store settings and information and is modified constantly throughout a PC's session. A lot more than you might expect, in fact. My application only changes the necessary setting, via a documented API call, that determines the desktop folder and then refreshes the system using another documented API call.
If anybody else feels differently, speak up.
