- Customizing the OPEN dialog box?
- Posted by YaNKee on November 17th, 2005
I would like to modify the ICONS down the left side of the common OPEN dialog
box (where it has My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Docs, My Computer etc...).
Can a shortcut to a favourite location (folder) by put here? If so, how?
Can items be removed from here?

It's called the Places bar.
Edit the Places bar locations in 'Open/Save As' common dialog boxes

Is this editing capability restricted to WinXP or can it be done in earlier
versions (esp. Win2K)?
TIA
