Adding additional places to the "save" dialogue

Here's a handy free utility to solve one of the frustrations of Windows and Microsoft Office. When you go to save a document, or to save a download file to your computer, the dialogue box has only five buttons on the left-hand Explorer-style bar. This bar is known as the Places Bar. Needless to say, the folder you most frequently want to save a file to is not among the five. The fix-it comes by way of PlacesBar Editor, which allows you to change the folders in the Explorer sidebar, or to additional folders in Office. It's very simple to use, and works well.
