"Look In" box

[Abay]

Hello ... apologies if this is a really stupid question ... I would like to
add or delete locations on the "Look in" box which is displayed when you
click open from within an application, Word, Excel etc.

Is this possible .. have searched Windows manuals on line (library) to no
avail.

Any help is most appreciated.

You can do this for your Office applications by following the
directions in this Microsoft article.

Organize quick file access by using the My Places bar

If you want to make changes for other Windows programs you
would want to follow the advice provided in these articles.

Customize the Places bar.
