WOW! this is what I've been searching for since I started using Windows and just didn't know it!
If you're a power user like me and don't buy into all the "one windows fits everything/everyone" psychology, then you will absolutely LOVE what I have for found for you! :thumb:
I have searched for it (and/or similar) on and off for years!
Drum roll please ..... TADA ..... FileBox eXtender.
FileBox eXtender Features
FileBox enhances Windows by adding several advanced functions to the standard Open File and Save File dialog boxes. (Note that if a program uses its own "private" dialog boxes for these functions, you won't see our FileBox buttons, sorry.)
FileBox adds two handy buttons to these standard dialogs. These appear on the right side of the Windows dialog box title bars. These buttons appear next to the minimize, restore, and maximize buttons with which you're probably already familiar.
FileBox can also forcibly resize the standard Windows file management dialog boxes so they're bigger, and thus easier to use if you've got lots of files in a folder through which you need to look. The two pictures below show a small part of the Windows standard Open File dialog box:

And don?t worry---if you don?t like the pictures on our buttons, there's a very easy way to change them.
FileBox eXtender has a nifty option to display these buttons on Windows Explorer folders too, and this can greatly speed up navigation through today's huge hard disks.
Okay, I'm hooked, so what do these extra buttons do?
The button with a little heart on it like this:
Here's what happens when I press that button on my computer:
Please note the Add: item near the bottom of the menu. It lets you add the currently-displayed folder seen in the dialog box to the Favorites list. If the current folder was already on that list, this item would appear as Remove: letting you quickly delete it if you no longer need rapid access to that location.
The button with a little clock on it
You can set how many of the recent folders are listed here, or hide this button completely by visiting the How to Configure FbX window and changing the default settings for this function.
Always on top and Roll-up buttons on windows
FileBox eXtender adds also a "push-pin" button to your "top level" windows. This function prevents any window you "pin" to the desktop from being covered by any other windows. This is great when you want to keep an eye on one program, but use another. (For example, refer to a document window in Word while typing an E-mail in another program.)
Another FileBox enhancement is the "roll-up" button added to top level windows. When you click it, the window is "rolled up" leaving only its title bar visible, and uncovering what was underneath it. Click that button again, and the window rolls back down. The Always on Top and Rollup commands can be also displayed on the system menu of any window.

just go download it and try it - you'll be glad you did!
