I think PowerDesk6 is the latest version that will work with XP. It's
good too, with lots more functionality than windows explorer,
including more versatility in views, built in unzpper and zipper, and
the display includes Control Panel and other things WE doesn't have,
except for video image of the camera, which WE does have but PD6
doesn't. YOu can set up PD to replace WE, or not to, or use it half
the time, by clicking on its icon instead of WE, but letting calls to
WE continue to go to WE. I do the third choice but sometimes I think
I should do the first.

But Dialog Helper is very simple, never causes problems in 10+ years
(I got it first from another company.) You may have to check a box
during installation of PD6 to get DH.

If you like that one, you might also like AnVir Task Manager. It comes
in two flavors, free and commercial. It does many different things, but
one thing is that it adds a button in those open/save dialog boxes. And
lists the most common folders that you use. This makes it very fast
going to your most used folders.

You're right, AnVir has a lot of features, including one very similar to
Dialog Helper. http://www.anvir.com/opensave-dialogs.htm

"When user clicks on this button, it shows a menu with list of recently
used folders. Additionally, menu contains user’s favorites folders. When
user clicks on a menu item, Open/Save dialog navigates to the
corresponding folder. This significantly SAVES TIME while opening and
saving files."

Is "navigate" the right word, two lines up? I thought navigation was
step-by-step-by-step, but this is direct.
