    It works for me, when I go to Open File, or when I'm loading a bitmap in the Material Editor, a middle click shows me the Direct Folders shortcuts list.

    Windows 8.1, Max 2016.

    perhaps your shortcut is the problem? does 2016 have any changes in the file dialog and interprets it differently from older versions by any chance?
    anyway in case it turns out to be not all that reliable a combination, you could give the alternative product Filebox Extender a try.

    Still have this, but it seems to work randomly. I'm using 2018. I opened a bug, there seems to be a problem with the dialogue box. I doubt it will ever get fixed however. Max is the only software I've encountered that did this.

    Few people here can read Korean. Could you please use English? Do you have a question?

    Do not run 3D Studio Max as administrator - unfortunately, this means Max won't be able to save into 'system files' (Documents, AppData) unless you change the admin rights on that side.
    This is a 100% solution - I'll contact the devs and see if there's a fix.

    Incidentally, this also affects Photoshop and probably a load of other applications, so it's a problem with Direct Folders software.

    PS Do we all hate this admin stuff in Windows? It's a pain in the balls.
