add shortcut to open dialogue box

Hi there,
I don't know how to actually phrase this but ...
What I am trying to do is add a shortcut to the open and close dialogue boxes that open up when I want to open or save a file. It is the column down the left hand side that I want to add the shortcut to. There are normally the My COmputer, My Documents, Desktop and My REcent Documnets.
I want to be able to add a shortcut to a folder.
Any ideas? Sorry about a rather abstract question!

Add Folders to « Save As » choice http://www.boomspeed.com/tongawonga/xperiecetweaks.htm In WinXP Pro, just open the Group Policy (type gpedit.msc in the Run command), go to :
User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Explorer / Common Open File Dialog and Enable the « Items Displayed in the Places Bar » option.
You can set any location, and it also offers you the most commons places by only typing i.e. MyMusic, instead of the full path.
