How do I get the Look in My favorites button when attaching file?

[Guest]

Just moved to Outlook 2003. When composing a message and attaching a file,
there used to be a "My Favorites" icon on the side in Outlook 2000 that had
my favorite locations in the attach file dialog box. How do I get this icon
in Outlook 2003?

I dont' recall this at all. You have "My Recent Documents". Is that what you
meant?
You can certainly add other folders to that left bar of the attach files
dialogue.

I just checked, Microsoft 2000 had this feature where when you click on
Attach File, the Favorites button is on the left hand side.

The buttons are History, My Documents, Desktop, Favorites, and My Network
Places.

In 2003, it is instead My recent documents, desktop, my documents, my
computer, and my network places.

I hope Microsoft did not downgrade the product with removing this feature?
How do I get it back??

Favourites link was removed from the toolbar so I'd say this has also been
removed.
You can add it by locating your favorites folder and then add a link to it.
It should be at C:\Documents and Settings\<profile name>\Favorites

Start a new email, choose Insert | File, browse to the folder C:\Documents
and Settings\<profile name>, select the Favorites folder then select Tools |
Add to My Places from the Insert File dialogue.
