How to make changes to "Save in..." list

When I use the "Save as.." option (from any application), the option box
gives me a list of "Save in:" locations down the left hand side. Can anyone
tell me how I edit this list.
Thanks

Malcolm,

For Windows XP Professional, you can also accomplish this using Group Policy
editor. Type GPEDIT.MSC in the RUN box. Navigate to this location:

User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows
Explorer | Common Open File Dialog
Double-click Items displayed in Places Bar and add the places in the text
boxes
[See Explain tab for more information]

For XP Home (and Pro), using TweakUI is the easiest method to add/remove
places in the Open/Save As dialog. Download TweakUI from here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

This changes the Places bar in Common Dialog boxes, and not in Office
applications.

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for the assistance, but I can't get this to work. I followed your
instructions and enabled the option, placed "C:\Windows" in the Item 1 box,
accepted the changes. I then went into Word, did "Save as..." and the list
down the left hand side was the same (i.e. didnt include C:\Windows" Have I
missed something?

Sorry if I'm being a bit dim on this
Thanks, Malcolm
 
Hi Malcolm,

Well. My last line read "This changes the Places bar in Common Dialog boxes,
and not in Office applications."

Here you go:

HI Ramesh,
Sorry, I thought your reference to Office applications related to the
TweakUI part of your response.
Anyway, got it all working now. Thanks for your help
Malcolm
