Saving Attachments

When I save any attachments, I generally put them in 3-4 folders...none of
which show up in the dialogue box on the left, where it always shows DESKTOP
or MY FAVOURITES or whatever. How does one get MY common folder names in that
dialogue box?

It's called the Places bar.

Use TweakUI, Edit the registry or use System Policy Editor.

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.]]
