Is there any way to add a folder to the Save As dialog box?

[Guest]

When you use Save As, there is a list of shortcuts on the left. My
Documents... Desktop... etc. Is there anyway to add in a user created
folder? I'd like to put a link to a different folder in this list.

Thanks!!!

It's called the Places Bar.

Use TweakUI, Edit the registry or use System Policy Editor. Or if Office
XP, scroll down.

[[This enables changing the location when a common dialog is opened. You can
use the default values or you can choose a custom location to open when a
common dialog box is opened.]]

Common Dialog Boxes
[[The common dialog boxes, such as the Save As dialog box, display the
places bar on the left side. These are shortcuts to common folders, which
make getting around much easier. By default, you see the History, Documents,
Desktop, Favorites, and My Network Places folders there. You can customize
the folders that appear in the places bar by using the Common Dialogs
category in Tweak UI.]]

Wes,

Thanks! That worked like a charm! Helps when you know what it's called
(The Places Bar). I would have never guessed what that was.

Thanks again!!

You can customize these icons easily with the Places Bar Wizard on
www.mswizards.com. With this wizard you can even create different sets of
places for each Office application.

Elizabeth,

It's a little like looking up a word in the dictionary, isn't it? Keep
having fun.
