Favorites Button gone from Insert File Dialog Box

[Jason]

hi, at my company we have upgraded several users from
OfficeXP(2002) to Office2003. In Outlook2002, when you
chose to Insert File, the dialog box had a button for
Favorites. In Outlook2003, the button is missing and I
can't find any info about how to get it in there.

any help is appreciated.

You can add back Favorites to all Open/Save dialogs by modifying the
registry.
First, hide an existing 'place' by setting Show = 0
Then, add a User Defined Place1
Then, name it 'Favorites'
Then, point it at the user's Favorites folder (this was for Win2k/XP).

Here is a sample:

WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Open
Find\Places\StandardPlaces\Publishing", "Show", "0", "REG_DWORD")
ADDKEY ("HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Open
Find\Places\UserDefinedPlaces\Place1")
WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Open
Find\Places\UserDefinedPlaces\Place1", "Name", "Favorites", "REG_SZ")
WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Open
Find\Places\UserDefinedPlaces\Place1", "Path", "c:\documents and
settings\%username%\favorites", "REG_SZ")
