ShellToy's Access Folder's makes getting around easier
Saturday, July 13, 2002 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
We have released Access Folders v.2.1 today.
Access Folders is a fine Windows enhancement that keeps all of your directories and sub-directories within easy reach. The program integrates into Windows' standard Save As/Open dialogs which are used by most applications. By right-clicking the question mark (?) button at the top-right hand side of this window, the program's menu pops-up to provide access to favorite folders. You can select
a folder and the dialog will immediately jump to the directory. Access Folders really offers a number of uses. First, it lets you directly save important files to folders on local or network drives without all of the repetitive clicking. Second, it never lets you forget where these files are saved, especially
those that have been downloaded from the Internet or edited in Office applications.
New for this version:
- New internal structure
- Several new features added

any chance of this working with WB? i used to use a similar program (came with powerdesk pro from ontrack), but with WB running you couldnt see the buttons to use them.
eventually i gave up on this most useful utility, since i wanted WB more.

Hyperionics also has a program like this that doesn't work with WB.
I'm now using a program called ImageFox from ACD Systems, which adds favorites to open/save dialogs and *does* work with WB. It also adds a preview window (which can be toggled for individual programs) for pics/sounds/videos. Pretty cool program.

Yes, this has bothered me for about 2 versions of this program. If there were any way to make it work with WindowBlinds it would give me a special feeling in my heart.
