Also, do file requesters finally allow you to define your own favorite folders? I find it odd that MagicRequester on the Amiga allowed me to do this, but Windows still doesn't.
This has been possible for a long time.
Download the Tweak UI powertoy from Microsoft and there you can define your custom places bar.
