I wait to be proven wrong but I doubt that it's possible.

What purpose do you have in mind?  A network path or local folder?  Why not just add a shortcut or mapped drive so that at least they are one click away on desktop or Computer?

Darn ... knew I'd be proved wrong!

Looks like an elegent solution.  I would have settled for a shortcut on the desktop or my docs but this is handy to know and simple to use.

Thanks but only works for office and other MS applications. I mainly need it for other applications.

EDIT:

I have found a program that lets me change it :)
