Description bht 2016-12-26 21:29:49 UTC 
I am suggesting that a context menu item "locate" be added, in addition to the existing "Add to Favorites..." item.

Background:

Explorer tree collapses into root node after renaming file in Favorites

I open a directory in the Favorites window six levels deep and select a file name by pressing [F2] in order to rename it. Then I highlight part of the file name with [Shift+Right Arrow] and overtype it, then press [Enter].

In some cases, the tree immediately collapses and I lose the position 6 levels deep.

This does not always reproduce.
