• Add Location to Open File dialog window in SSMS

  Recently I realized I kept going to the same folder over and over...  I have my "play" files on my C:\ drive, but I have a network share that I keep scripts and project related stuff that I really dont want to lose.  Most of my stuff is database development related, so the stuff on my C:\ drive is also in the DEV database (and I am lucky enough to be the main one who works in DEV - only 2 others really do and that is minimally).

  I put a shortcut in the My Documents folder, but realized that it didnt help as much as I wanted.  Therefore, I found a way of putting a shortcut in the left hand pane of the Open dialog box. Look at the "home" option in the image below - that is custom :)
