add a shortcut link in the "open window"

[sk3]

Hi,

Many times I need to access a file through excell/word which is hidden deep
in my directory structure and every time I click the "File > open" in Office
products, they take me to the default directory. It would be nice if we could
have a button which would let us create our own shortcuts, instead of the
standard shortcuts which shown up on the left of the "open window" (viz.
Desktop, My Documents etc)

Thanks

you can add a shortcut to the My Places bar

On the File menu, click Open.
In the Look in list, click the drive, folder, or Internet location that
contains the folder where you want to create a shortcut to in the My Places
bar.
Click the desired folder, click Tools, and then click Add to "My Places".
Your shortcut appears in the My Places bar to the left of the folder and
files list.
