Folder Guide — Fast Access to Folders in Open/Save Dialogs
It happens to me almost every day. I want to save a file in my Data directory on my D: drive, but the program insists on starting the save dialog with the My Documents directory buried deep on my C: drive. I have to click and click and click to get to the directory I want. Folder Guide allows me to select my favorite directories for a “Folder Guide” submenu which is added to the right click menu of open and save dialogs. This way, when I need to change to one of my favorite directories, I just right click and select the directory from the Folder Guide men and the open or save dialog instantly changes to that directory. It saves a bit of time — and a lot of frustration.
Key Features as listed on the Folder Guide web page:
* Quick access folders in Open/Save As/Browse dialogs.
* Quick access folders in Windows Explorer and the desktop and the Star button.
* Easy to add folder to the list of “Folder Guide”.
* Easy to edit or reorder folders in the list of “Folder Guide”.
* Runs automatically as part of the context menu.
* 100% Spyware FREE.
This freeware program just works and is well-worth the time to download. Unless to are lucky enough to only use programs that allow you to set standard directories for their open and save dialogs, this program is almost a must-have. It even works in Word 2003 dialogs.
