That's key doesn't exist on my work machine. I'll verify that it's
set at home. If so, then I'll assume I have found the problem and
learn to live with it. (I don't think this is worth trying to
persuade the PC people to update my registry).



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoStartMenuPinnedList"=dword:00000001

It doesn't exist on my home machine either.

How do we get folders into "Other Places"? Maybe that will be good

When you open a folder, the left side has "File and Folder Tasks", and
"Other Places".

OH, the common tasks stuff. I don't use that fluff. I turn OFF all the
"eye candy" and cutesy stuff and run Classic views. Shortcut's to
folders go in the Quick Launch bar. You may be able to get it into the
"OP section" with a registry hack. But I suspect you shouldn't do that
