Hi there. I would like to be able to change (add, delete) the shortcuts that appear on the left-side of the "open" window. The defaults are Desktop, My Documents, My Network Places, History, and Favorites. I can move them up and down but can't add or remove. Ideas? Thanks!

You cannot remove the default ones, but you can add your own, change the
order of them, make them smaller, and make the dialog larger so it will hold
more. To add your own, select a folder in the File Open dialog, then choose
Tools on the dialog toolbar and click Add to "My Places." Right-click on the
icons in the Places Bar for other options.
