Ever arrived somewhere, looked up, and thought to yourself: "I don't wanna be here." It happens all the time in Windows. Ever go to open or save a file, only to discover that the dialog box isn't in the folder you need? Piggybacking a recent tip, this shortcut creation method will have you 'there' in no time at all. First, ya gotta fire up a Windows Explorer instance and browse to your ultimate destination (whichever folder that might be). Now, you may already be there (in which case, this tip will be even easier to implement). Left-click and drag the upper left-hand corner icon (a folder) from the Explorer title bar and drop it directly into the Open/Save dialog box. Now double-click that newly created shortcut and you'll be whisked away. Unless you're running low on disk space, I'd suggest keeping the shortcut there in case you need it again at some point in the future.
