Hehe, no, I know you can specify a default file and path - AND the different
file
extenstions. I was talking about the *re-defitinition* of the shortcuts on the

My fault, sorry man.

Hehe, excellent statement, and so true. Anyway, that's basically the same thing
those
low-brow 'experts' at service desk told me here @ work, but I just didn't want
to

Oh, I don't want to take them away - I use some of them. Just that "my
documents" is
one of the least used by me, and I wanted my own-most-used shortcut.

I don't see how that will help me when I'm opening files. This IS related to
opening files
(hence the open file dialog reference), not having general shortcuts to
directories.
