I want to be able to add a folder to the Save As... dialog box for ALL of my
applications. I can do this in office by using the Add to Favorite Places
option. How can I add my own folder to the standard Windows dialog so that
its icon shows up with the others (Desktop, Computer, Network, etc.)? I'm
assuming this will involve some sort of registry setting. Is the procedure
the same for all versions of Vista? How about for XP?

Thanks.

It's basically the same procedure to do what you want for both Vista
and XP. The major difference is that in XP you have a New Folder
button on the Save As dialog tool bar. In Vista, just navigate to the
drive (or location) where you want to save the file, right-click in
the files area on the right and choose New | Folder. Name the new
folder, press Enter to set the name, and voila, the new folder is
available in the list on the left. (It is also automatically opened;
view the path in the address bar.)

I guess I should be more specific - I'm not trying to create a NEw folder. I
want to add to the SHORTCUTS that are all the way to the left in the dialog.
They are large icons - not the yellow folders. (To see what I mean, open Word
and save a document. You will see the vertical strip of large icons down the
left side of the dialog box.)

Hmmm ... I see. I would think that you would get a more informed
answer if you posted to the Office newsgroup. Perhaps this one:
