Whenever you open or save a file in Windows Vista, you typically get the standard dialog box which has shortcut locations on the left side. You can easily customize these locations to add or remove locations to best suit your needs. Here is how:
- Open a dialog box (either a Save As or Open dialog will work).
- Right click on some white space in the locations on the left pane and select Open Favorite Links Folder. The folder: “C:\Users\Your Name\Links” should open.
- Add or remove shortcuts as needed.
- Your changes should take effect immediately.
Once you take a few minutes to configure your locations, this trick should save you quite a bit of time.
