Maybe it's native to some of my applications (e.g. Editpad, winedt). When I click on file, Open, I get a window that says "open" or "open file". It is split in two, with a left column that lists vertically some folder icons (desktop, computer, networks, ...). The right column and main part of the window lists the content of a folder. I was wondering if there was a way to add an icon in the left column to point to a specific folder, without having to navigate. Daniel >> Stay informed about: Add folder in ""Open"" window?

Hi Daniel, If you're referring to the "favorite links" section of Windows Explorer, then no, that's not customizable (though I would like it to be). Instead, all you can do is expand the lower "folders" section to get the entire directory tree. >> Stay informed about: Add folder in ""Open"" window?

The navigation pane shows all folders in the tree, so I don't then understand what the OP is referring to, unless he is referring to the old style "XP" type "Open" dialog... >> Stay informed about: Add folder in ""Open"" window?

Wow, what was I thinking....Yes, you are correct. It is customizable, you can simply drag and drop folders into that section. I think for some reason I was thinking about the layout of the navigation pane itself and whether or not you could remove that section and not the folder tree. >> Stay informed about: Add folder in ""Open"" window?
