How to make Open/Save Dialog default to Libraries?

When I want to save a new file Windows 10 (Pro x64 21H2) generally opens the File Open/Save dialog to the last used directory, which is usually one of many on my NAS. However, instead of using the path I used to navigate to it (usually via a Libraries mapping) is uses the full path starting with //Network. This often results in a blown up tree in the navigation pane that I then have to collapse in several steps to see the Libraries entry. Is there some way to make the Open/Save dialog default instead to "Libraries"?

 

Force list view in the Open-Save dialog possible?

To customize dialogs you should look at IFileDialogCustomize COM interface for Vista and later, or for XP you should use Explorer-Style Custom Templates (works on later OS-es too).

Libraries and My PC folders in Save As Dialog


Can anybody help in ADDING Libraries to and REMOVING the This PC folder from the Save As dialog? I know how to remove and add these in File Explorer, but have no luck in finding a solution for the Save As dialog. I found this thread, but when I get to the value to be changed it already is set to that.

When you have an SSD drive with a secondary HDD for files, you can remap libraries to the HDD but saving files from a program is a problem. I guess another option would be to remap the This PC folders to the HDD and not show the libraries. Anybody know how to do that as an alternative?
