When "saving as"or when "opening" a file a window opens. Left are some
places/folders shown like "My documents" or "My computer".

I know there is (even had once) a program which can change these
optional folders but, ah, have forgotten name and place.

Is here a kind soul who understands/knows what I'm talking about and
can give this info?

Regards, Fred

Not I understand what you want, but if it's an Open-Save dialogue
enhancer, that allows you to quickly jump to your most often used
folders/locations, I'd recommend FOLDER VIEW
http://www.folderview.com/folderview/
Site also has excellent guide to using. Adds a small button to
open-save, click on it to quickly jump to your fave folders.

There was another such freeware utility allowing only five folders
mentioned in Clif Notes Newsletter:
http://freewarewiki.pbwiki.com/index...rentNewsletter

sorry, can't recall the name of the app, but check Clif's site or here:

Thanks, will give FV a try. Is doing more than I was asking for but
looks as if there are some other funny things.

Ciao, Fred

Looks nice, but ive got a crash problem when rightclick in explorer
under winxp sp2. I had to remove:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\FolderView]
@="{A5C41C31-B64A-464E-9A51-D5AA95A5ECC5}"

and

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\FolderView]
@="{A5C41C31-B64A-464E-9A51-D5AA95A5ECC5}"

The rest is working. ive sent a mail to the developer.

bye
