Title: Adding places to open dialog box?...
Post by: Eagle on December 21, 2007, 15:52:54 PM
In Vista, you can quite easily add shortcuts (links) to the Explorer window by dragging folder locations.

However, its not so easy in an Open dialog box...

Any ideas how? :)

Its gleaming, tbh.  Running fast and stable.  A thousand times happier than I thought I would be (and I had grave reservations).  I think the bad rep (just like XP) is just johnny public f*cktard who couldnt operate and maintain a calculator properly, let alone run a high-spec piece of tek.  :mrgreen:

Get Ultimate if you can. :)

Probably only running that way because you had a clean install on a new machine with high end hardware. Most of the initial problems came from upgraders who tried to avoid a clean install and ended up with a machine that didnt boot properly. It also needs twice the overheads of XP SP3 to get itself going, which you at least have plenty of.
