As you know users have oftentimes to select a folder from inside a program.
The default file selection dialog pops up and the users has to navigate manually through lots of folders in hierarchy to get to the preferred taregt folder.

I can imagine that there is a faster way by adding own, favorite folders to the initial default file selection dialog.

How can I achieve this?

The file dialog is an extension of explorer, so anything you see in explorer such as quick access should be visible in the file dialog. The folder dialog on the other hand not so much.

One option would be create custom libraries which isn't easily doable or create a folder
