PlacesBar Editor
Ever since Windows 2000, Microsoft has included 5 handy buttons on the left hand side of most open and close dialogs in Windows. PlacesBar Editor lets you customize those folders.

PlacesBar Editor also lets you add 5 additional folders or locations to the MS Office open/save dialog.
