Customize Windows/Office Save As Dialog

Ok I found the termology:

Places Bar - Windows XP, Office XP, 2003, 2007
Favorite Links - Windows Vista

Since I have to go through the save as dialog a thousand times per month I decided to search for a solution to modify the dialog and have found:

Solution was Office 2003:
  1. In Word click on Save as...->
  2. Then select the folder you would like to add to the places bar,
  3. then choose from the tools menu (upper right corner on the dialog) add to "My Places"
  4. And since I want mine to appear topmost I have to select it and click a few times move up
