Dear All,

I've a question, when you do a "Save As" or "Open", etc you get the usual
box, on the left there is "My Computer", "Desktop", "Network Places" etc....
is there any way of adding a custom location to it?

Say I have "E:\Downloads" for all my downloads until I've sorted through
them, can I add that as a shortcut?

Regards
Paul.
