left panel options?

[Guest Jeff@unknown.com]

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

Found out how to do it. It is called the "Places Bar" and I could modify it

using TweakUI.

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

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.
