I use windows explorer a lot and I use it as my starting point. I tend to use the Libraries section a lot for long term locations and I use the Favorites section to put locations that I go to frequently. These tend to change depending on what I'm working on, so I usually limit it to what I currently need frequently. I then tend to want these in my File Open/Save dialogs. In Windows 7 because I use the favorites and Libraries they automatically appear in my File Open/Save dialogs, but if I use a program that doesn't uses the old style dialogs they don't appear. Because of that I also edit the places bar, which in Windows 7 work, but isn't there by default and there are default locations. To change them you have to add that section to the registry.
I figured it might be useful to put this info here, because it is annoying to navigate around to the Reflex database folder. When I watch people work I notice that very few people take advantage of these until I show it to them.
