Creating a shortcut?

[Ergobob]

Hello,

I am running WinXP Pro and do a lot of saving of pictures from web sites.

When I right click on an image and hit "Save Picture As", it opens a window
for My Pictures. That window also has a few shortcuts on the left panel. I
would like to create a shortcut on the left panel that goes the folder where
I save most of these pictures.

Does someone know how to create your own shortcut on the Save Picture As
window?

Thanks a lot,

Bob

Thanks William. I have TweakUI and found that I could do it by pointing My
Pictures to the relevant file. However, it does not permit you to select any
file to add to the menu. You have to select from a set of 10 existing
folders.

Does that sound right to you?

Thanks Again,

Bob

You can vary the places (which will apply to any Save As, so don't
overdo it) with TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP

Its Common Dialogs - Places bar, select Custom, and adjust
