'File/Open' or 'File/Save As' in any MS Office application opens a standard screen with shortcut icons shown on the left hand side viz. History, My Documents, Desktop, Favorites and My Network Places. Anyone know how to delete or add a new one? I've only ever found 'Desktop' and 'My Network Places' to be useful whereas I'd really benefit by having my own 'currently busy' shortcut there (would save hours in the course of a year; I'm in a big company with a large, multi-layered, shared filing system!!). I'm surprised Microsoft haven't done something about this before now ... or have they? Note: I am familiar with setting a default file location via Tools/Options in Word, Excel, etc.; also, the option in Explorer to open at a particular folder - this is not what I'm looking for here.

MrExcel has always come up trumps for me soooooooooo .... here's hoping!! :-?

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
