Guest Jan Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 When I open Word, I am able to configure the Open File screen to add various folders on the left-hand side. Is there a way to do that in other programs? For instance, if I am in Quicken and I click on Open File, while I do get the larger part of the screen displaying all of my Quicken files, the side bar (on the left) only has My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, and My Network Places. The same is true for some of the othe programs I use. I would like to be able to configure the side bar to include other folders that are used more frequently than 5 that are listed.
