Hi all. How do I add a directory to the directory icons on the left off the
Look In window when the directory window come up? I can't figure it out, but
it must be easy.
Thanks!

Actually it's not easy without third party software or editing of the
registry. TweakUI for XP is a good tool to use for this and it will make
the necessary "behind the scenes" changes for you. TweakUI is one of the
Power toys for XP. A link to the download can be found here:

Many thanks. The registry tweaks did it. For some reason, TweakXP didn't
work.
