In Excel 2003 go to FileOpen and browse to find My Favorites.

With that folder selected ToolsAdd to My Places.

In 2007 same thing except after browsing to My Favorites, right-click on the
My Places pane and "Add folder name"

Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I recently replaced my HDD and before I did that I
did have "My Favorites" in the "Look In:" section whereas I don't any longer.
Any idea how to get "My Favorites" to show up under Files-Open? If I can do
that it's a big help.

Thanks.

I don't believe you can. That dialog is actually controlled by your operating
system and not XL. XL just accesses that dialog using the Windows API. That
is why no matter what program you use the dialogs for open, close, SaveAs are
all the same. The OS controls storage and retrieval functions.
