Ramesh,
Customising the places bar locations isn't what the OP asked for. He wants a
direct link to open them I think.
If he does then:
START | RUN | Type 'regdit' (without quotes) & press ENTER
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32\Pl
acesBar
New String/DWORD values:
Place0 = "Z:\\My Network Folder\\ Sub Folder"
Place1 = "C:\\"
Place2 = "H:\\MyNetworkPath"
Place3 = 5 (DWORD for MY DOCS)
Place4
and so on...
The DWORD values are used for Speical Folders
(

Notice the '\\' as the registry editor uses them so not to get illegal paths
because in C++ '\n' is a newline. So, to get a path seperator you use '\\'
Others in the group will say use only one '\' but see how the registry editor
exports path seperatiors & you will see the '\\'

Hi yip,
Yes. You can customize the Places bar in Common Dialog boxes using TweakUI
PowerToy for Windows XP.

Edit the Places bar locations in Open/Save As boxes:

How can I create folder shortcuts on the Start menu. I save various
files into network folders and instead of constantly clicking 5 or 6
times to reach the correct folder on the network, it would be nice to
have a direct link to the network folder.
Similarly is it possible to create folder shortcuts on the Save or
Save As dialog boxes.
Please let me know .
Thanks,
yip
