Customizing the OPEN dialog box?

[Guest]

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

Yes, Windows 2000 has this key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\comdlg32\PlacesBar
