File Open Screen Options

[Guest Jan]

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.

Edit the Places bar locations in Open Save As common dialog boxes

For Office, there are more options, depending on the Office version.

e.g.
