Have you ever wished that when you saved or opened files in windows that the ‘shortcut’ locations on the left of the window contained more than just 5 standard options (i.e. Desktop, My Documents, etc…). I finally invested some time with Google and I’m delighted to report that it is very easy to implement this time saving technique

To do this yourself read “How to set custom shortcuts in the Windows XP ‘Save As’ dialog box”
For OFFICE applications you will also need to read “How can I customize the Places Bar in Office XP?”

Enjoy!
