If I read you correctly, what you want to do is modify the "Places" pane of the standard windows "Open" and "Save" dialogs, to include custom locations rather than just the standard "My Documents" and "My Computer" etc. You can do this in two ways, but they both mean editing the registry, either by hand or by software. This works in XP, don't know about Vista X| Note that Office has its own set of "Places" pane settings, which varies depending on which version you are using (Thanks, Microsoft! Standards! Lovely!). The key you are interested in is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ComDlg32\PlacesBar
If it does not exist, create it. WARNING: the existance of this key overrides standard Windows behaviour and removes all items from the "Places" pane - you can delete this key to restore them. You now need to create up to five values, named "Place0" to "Place4" inclusive, and items will be displayed in this order, with Place0 at the top of the pane. The values can be string as in "E:\Correspondance", or DWORD as in the following table. The DWORD values give you access to the standard items that existed before you started changing the registry - for example, if you set "Place0" to DWORD 5, the top item, in the pane will be "My Documents" This list is (probably) not exhaustive, but if you find others that are useful, let me know. The list is (obviously) in Hex:
