Guest Jeff@unknown.com Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Not sure what it is called which is why I am asking it this way. In XP, when you open Notebook (as an example) and click on File/Open the window that open has a panel on the left that shows "My Computer", "My Documents", etc. as shortcuts that you can click on. How can I add a folder to this list or change what is in it. Thanks, Jeff

Guest Kelly Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Re: left panel options? Hi Jeff, You have several options: For Pro: 1. Run the Local Group Policy Editor (Start, then Run, then gpedit.msc) 2. Open the following policy: 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 http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Or use TweakUI/Common Dialogs http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp 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. -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm SupportSpace http://www.supportspace.com/pages?aiu=kellyskorner <Jeff@unknown.com> wrote in message news:uWQB7pRMJHA.1204@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Not sure what it is called which is why I am asking it this way. > > In XP, when you open Notebook (as an example) and click on File/Open the > window that open has a panel on the left that shows "My Computer", "My > Documents", etc. as shortcuts that you can click on.
