How do you create a desktop shortcut for the Properties Dialog Box for my C: Drive? Instead of right-clicking my C: Drive and then selecting properties, I would like to have a shortcut. Currently running Win11 ver 23H2.

GDProps is a standalone app which can view "File Properties" for any random drive, folder, or file. It requires .NET 4.5 or later (which most users have installed).
Opening up a drive letter is tricky, because it's a drive volume and not a normal folder or file object.


GDProps C:
GDProps "C:\path\to\folder"
GDProps "C:\path\to\file"

Extract the program to a local folder. When you create a new desktop shortcut, insert "\path\to\GDProps C:" as the shortcut's command.
