I have noticed on Vista/7 that when the OpenFileDialog is used in some applications (e.g. MS Word, Visual Studio) it also contains the application itself in the places bar with a list of favourite folder locations which contains documents of the type supported. E.g.

enter image description here

Is there an easy way to do this for your own application, or does MS Word etc. use an extended version of the OpenFileDialog, meaning I need to extend the OpenFileDialog/write my own to add this functionality?

    The IFileDialog::AddPlace() method. No, that's not easy to do. The Windows API Code Pack has a wrapper for this, CommonFileDialog.AddPlace() method. – Hans Passant Oct 31 '11 at 13:01
