optimization of "save in" and "look in" fileds of common Open and

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a question regarding "save in" and "look in" fields of the Common
Open and Common Save dialogs. Actually the question is how can I add
"Favorites" to this field, or how can I customize the contents of these
fields

Try tweakui, a MS PowerToy from

Look under Common Dialogs>Places Bar

It could be possible if you place your Favorite folder to the Desktop then
you can see it in Save In or Look in Dialog box but it is strongly not
recommended.

Instead of this, download TweakUi and customize the "Common Dialogs" -
"Places Bar".
You can download TweakUi from the following link:

See the picture below to have a guess:

Thanks a lot.
This tweak worked on most of the dialogs, however in MS office 2003 the
dialogs still remain without effect of the tweak UI. could you help me to
tweak also this dialogs?

Thanks,
Dmitry
