Hi Jonathan,
We made the jump from WF2 to WF4 and had similar concerns.
Never found a way to solve a), did not think of b) and did not solve c) either.
But I continued with the Favourites Tab and I put all the project folders I want in there (renaming them if necessary to distinguish between them). I can get to this by clicking on the Favourites Tab or clicking favourites in the Common Folders. The big deal with WF4 is that you can now RMB and set one of these to your working directory!!!!!! (OK so I was very pleased to get this functionality)
In conjunction with this I have mapkeys for OP = open part, OA = open assembly, OD = Open drawing and these call up the older style file dialogue box (which is still available if you use File/Open rather than the tree.)
I have found over time that I use a mixture of both the newer and older method to navigate and get what I want so I suggest you go with the change. In effect PTC did move the cheese but they gave extra functionality to what already existed.
Hope this helps.

We've just made the jump from WF3 to WF4. There are a couple of things
we like, but so far the Common Folders pane (both in the main window,
and in the new - very cluttered-looking - File Open dialogue) is not one
of them.
Is there any way to:
a) turn off display of Common Folders;
b) if not a), remove any of the default entries;
c) make the Folder Tree expanded by default?
It also appears that WF4 doesn't place its menus anything like as
helpfully as WF3 when you have dual monitors, but I suspect we will just
have to live with that one...
Thanks,
Jonathan
