I mentioned Chocolatey and Powershell quite often in the last time, today I created two little helpers and uploaded them to the chocolatey gallery.
The two super-awesome (and simple) packages called SharePoint.HiveShortcut.Desktop and SharePoint.HiveShortCut.Explorer - and the name indicates it, they create shortcuts to the hive folder.
I could just upload the two lines of powershell on this blog, but I totally like the Chocolatey approach - makes it easy for everyone.
Video or it did not happen!
Why you need the Hive-folder?
Good question, most of the time if something is not working as expected. Ever wondered if a feature is where it should be? Images missing? Unsupported customizations? 14-/ 15- folder is the place to go.

Next tools for Chocolatey
On my personal roadmap are two tools which will be available on the chocolatey gallery very soon.
- SharePoint Manager
