Modifying the Save-in location shortcuts

[Guest]

I want to add to the list that shows up on the left when you go to save a file. Any ideas?

You can add locations to the Places Bar in Open/Save As dialog box, using TweakUI

Hi,

This can easily be done through TweakUI. The dialog is called 'common dialog' and the 'list' is
called Places bar. Under TweakUI, navigate to Common dialogs >> Places bar and select 'Custom places
bar' and you can specify your own folders/directories.

Download TweakUI from:

Hi Chris,

For Pro:

Go to Start/Run and type in: gpedit.msc then navigate to:

User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/ Windows
Explorer/Common Open File Dialog/Items Displayed in Places Bar.

Choose Enabled then paste or type the link to the folders that you want
listed.

Or...

Add Folders to the "Save As" Dialog (Places Bar) Line 118

Or use TweakUI/Common Dialogs

To hide the Common Places Bar: For Pro go to Start/Run and type in:
gpedit.msc. User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows
Components/Windows Explorer/Common Open Places/Hide the common dialog places
bar.

Note: To see the difference between the views, open Notepad and choose
File/Open before and after applying Enabled.
