adding something to Explorer window

[Tim.T]

When you open a "SaveAs" or "Open" dialogue box in Explorer, there are
options down the left hand side panel for places to save/open the file:
Recent, Desktop, MyDocuments, MyComputer, and My Network. I was just
wondering if there are any registry hacks to let you add other folders,
drives, to this panel.

Cheers
Tim

Install TweakUI:

TweakUI > Common Dialogs > Places Bar.

You can modify the five that are listed but you can't have any more than
five. The easiest way, as Detlev indicated is to use TweakUI.

Cool, thanks. Five custom places is enough
