Don’t you wish there was an easy way to add custom locations to the Save/Open dialog box? Well, actually, there is. With Direct Folders, you can quickly find frequently used folders in the Save/Open dialog box. After the program is installed, you can right-click in the white space of the window to access your customized list of folder shortcuts. Of course, there are other ways to tweak this box too - for example, in Windows XP, a registry hack can let you update the box with your own settings: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32\PlacesBar] “Place0″=”e:\\XP Utils” “Place1″=”e:\\research” “Place2″=”e:\\Registry Patches” “Place3″=”e:\\UtilitiesSet 2″ “Place4″=”e:\\UtilitiesSet 1″ TweakUI does it too.
