Have you ever thought of an idea that navigation in Windows could be much more convenient? Why wouldn't one employ the technique similar to the "Navigate to class" in most common IDEs, when relevant folder matches are displayed in the popup window, brought to the foreground by a predefined key combination.

Here are Windows Explorer and Total Commander disadvantages which may frustrate most of the users:

one needs to perform a huge amount of mouse clicks to access a deeply nested folder
search in Windows Explorer is rather slow, even with indexing turned on
low usability of Windows Explorer search: need to open an Explorer, eyefocus on the search field (not centered on the screen), click it, type a (preferrably complete) folder name, and wait. If you've made a mistake in the folder name, need to repeat it all over.
low usability of address bar hints in Windows Explorer and Total Commander (subfolder names which appear after pressing Tab in the address bar). You need to type the full path anyway and press the Tab button for each subfolder, and search for the correct hint for each subfolder. And if you are expecting a wrong folder path (e.g. "Program Files (x32)" instead of "Program Files") you need to perform all these actions again.
For these particular reasons I've written "Navigation Assistant", whose operation is equivalent to "Navigate to class" or "Navigate to File" features of most common IDEs: combinations Ctrl-N and Ctrl-Shift-N in JetBrains products (ReSharper, IDEA, PhpStorm, WebStorm), Ctrl-Shift-T in Eclipse.
