Application that creates shortcuts to folders

I'm looking for an app (or a built-in Windows XP shortcut) that allows me to quickly save to or open favorite folders within different applications. I've seen several apps that let you quickly open favorite folders (e.g. Filing Cabinet) but I'm not sure whether these also give you shortcuts to SAVE to a particular folder.

If you know of anything, please post it. I'm spending a lot of time navigating with my mouse!

Thanks!

In the same vein as...

In the same vein as Jason, I use SlickRun for about the same thing. I assign a SlickWord to about anything that I want (specific folder, specific app, whatever). Now I have nothing on my desktop except My Computer, Documents, and Network Places and Recycle Bin. It is very helpful in keeping a clean desktop.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
