File | Save As Options

[PT]

Some time ago, I did something - sorry, but I have no recollection what I
did, to add certain folders to the vertical "Save In" band which runs down
the left side of the File | SaveAs dialog box.

The added folders are those in which I frequently save Excel files.

The same folders appear in the corresponding situation in Word, but not in
Outlook Express

So, the question is, how did I do it?

In the upper-right corner of the Open File chooser, click Tools and
then Add to My Places.

You can reorder the My Places bar at the left by right clicking.

If you are referring to Outlook Express then it doesn't use the same dialog
box for Save As and Open as the Office Applications. IOW, what you see in
Word and Excel, such as the shortcut in the Places Bar, will not display in
OE.

Outlook Express uses the Windows dialog control. These don't have the same
options as those in Office. They must be editing using the Registry and
IIRC, TweakUI allows you to customize the shortcuts in the Places Bar as
well.
