Welcome to XYplorer!!

Maybe you mean Favorites>favorite folder. You are right, if you dont have any items in "favorite folders" then it is faded. You can add folders to "favorite folders" in the following two ways:

1) In the tree click on the folder you want to add and use Ctrl+B and the desired folder will be added to favorite folders.

OR

2) Go to tools>list management>favorite folders and add your favorites.

Have fun. Enjoy!!

Don, on second thoughts i think "toggle favorite folder" can go under "favorite folder" submenu just to be consistent with "toggle favorite file" which is under favorite file submenu.

Only I beleive its under "Favorites" to be consistant with other actions (Boxed Branch & Highlighted Folder), also since fav folders can also - beside the obvious - affect the Tree's look for those folders.
Specifically, favorite folders can be bold and/or have a blue icon overlay according to the options set under View/Tree Style
