Are there any utilities that any of you know about that would allow you to
set up a project where only certain folders on your hard drive are visible?
I don't know about you, but when I go to open a file from a graphics editing
program , it automatically points to the "My Pictures" folder.
I never keep a project's graphic files in "My Pictures". I have a folder
named "Current Projects" with folders for each project and folders under
each of those called images. I cannot tell you the hours that I have spent
navigating through all my folders trying to work on a project. What would
be awesome would be if there was a utility as mentioned above whereby I
could assign
folders to a project and whatever program I was working with, as I went to
File>Open, I would only see those folders available. Is there anything like
that that any of you are aware of? TIA

Somebody in another group gave me a quick and easy solution: simply put a
shortcut in "My Pictures" to the project folder. Works for me!
