CFDButton is a tiny app that installs a button on the windows common file dialog to provide time saving functionality. It adds three functions:

1. It allows you to filter by any file type ( extension ) you want. A good example of this is opening up notepad and trying to use it to read an HTML file. Your choices are either *.txt files or *.* all files. CFDButton allows you to create a list of your own file types, so you could choose *.html files and only HTML files would show up in the open window.
2. It will allow you to set favorite directories, you can access through a dropdown menu, and will immediately bring you to that directory.
3. It also monitors the directories where you have been and keeps them in a rotating list so you can easily move around between directories when you are working on a project.

The action menu that appears when you click on the CFDButton in the file dialog also allows you to capture information dynamically. You can use the Add: Favorite menu item to add the currently shown directory to the favorites list. You can also save the currently selected file filter, shown in the "Files of type:" combo box, by selecting Add: Filter, this can come in handy for collecting file filters instead of typing them in by hand. Of course you can use the Show: Settings menu item to bring up the settings dialog at any time.
