How do I add briefcase to the drop down list in a save as box? e.g when I
save mail messages for reference I usually put them in "My Briefcase" ,but
at the moment I have to click the drop menu ,select desktop and then click
"my briefcase" .(which I managed to add as a shortcut to.)

Use TweakUI, Edit the registry or use System Policy Editor. Or if MS
Office, scroll down.

Places bar
[[This enables changing the location when a common dialog is opened. You can
use the default values or you can choose a custom location to open when a
common dialog box is opened.]]

Common Dialog Boxes
[[The common dialog boxes, such as the Save As dialog box, display the
places bar on the left side. These are shortcuts to common folders, which
make getting around much easier. By default, you see the History, Documents,
Desktop, Favorites, and My Network Places folders there. You can customize
the folders that appear in the places bar by using the Common Dialogs
category in Tweak UI.]]
