Change left side link of the Save As Dialog for a DropBox one?
Almost every time I use the standard Windows (XP) File Open/Save Dialog I get frustrated in how long it takes me to navigate to where I want to go. :-( (I won't even get into the MS Office dialog that makes things even worse)
This is the dialog I'm referring to (with some notes)
Notes:
- Wouldn't a Drive list be handy in here? C:\, D:\, E:\, etc.
- What about a breadcrumb URI? (the magenta list of links)
- Why isn't Program Files one of the icons on the left? (green) I'm always going in there for something
- Why can't I type "../../../" to navigate up multiple directories in the File name box? (blue)
There has got to be some utilities out there that can "hijack" or "overwrite" this core windows dialog to provide a much better set of options.
I'm looking for any/all solutions to help fix this dialog.
