E:\Imdad\Working Projects\Projects\VS 2010 Projects\Document\Old Code Study\status report.xls

whenever i want to attach file in Outlook popup will open for selection a file at that time i will have to do
select drive (E:\) then
folder (Imdad) then
folder (Working Projects)....
it's very tedious work to select file.

What i will have to do:-
instead of manually selection in windows Insert File dialog with left hand side five options like:

My Recent Documents
Desktop
My Documents
My Computer
My Network Places
Old Code Study it is mapped with my working project folder

so just i am clicking on Old Code Study button and directly jump to my working folder.

Thanks,
Imdadhusen

If you're only moving a file why dont you have a look at creating a .cmd that takes advantage of XCOPY.

Interesting question.

I don't know how to do it programatically. But there is an open secret out there called TweakUI[^]. You can customize the look and feel of many windows [dialogs] including what you looking to do.

You can use TweakUI to customize the left side icons, you can even have your own folder show there. The only restriction is that you can only have up to 5 folder / icons show.

Why don't you try right clicking the file and send to -> mail recipient?
It will attach the file in your default mail client.

Make a shortcut to "E:\Imdad\Working Projects\Projects\VS 2010 Projects\Document\Old Code Study" where you find the most convenient.
Just double click the shortcut, right click the file, send to -> mail recipient - Will this do? I know it's too late to answer the question now.
