add a folder's icon to "open/save" window
I post this question to Windows2000 ng but didn't get reply in more than 10
days. Althought I don't think this ng is a proper place for this question but it is somehow related indirectly. In "open file" or "save in" windows, in all office porgrams including Word, there is a pane in left-most side, recommending some locations for fast finding. I want to add icon of my external hard disk and even some folders inside that, to be shown in this pane. Is this possible? This will save time for going through clicks to reach the destination. -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan |

See http://www.gmayor.com/customize_the_word_places_bar.htm It requires a
registry edit. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Khoshravan wrote: I post this question to Windows2000 ng but didn't get reply in more than 10 days.

add a folder's icon to "open/save" window
Dear Graham
Thanks for your help. My word is 2003 so basically I had "add to My Places" and it was enough for me. It not only adds to Word but also for others like Excel as well. So I don't need to go through Registery amendments. I couldn't understand this part in your article "but you lose this functionality if you edit the XP Places Bar to remove the default entries." Should I take care about this issue? Aslo one more question. Is "Add to My Places" smart enough to trac the folders addresses, if I move or change the original place of the folder which I have put in "Add to My Places"?

The registry edit is only required for Word 2000, which your original post
suggested was the case. If you move the folder you will have to edit the entry. It will not automatically pick up the change. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Khoshravan wrote: Dear Graham Thanks for your help.
