Getting shortcuts to show up when performing a "Save As"
I had a previous post on a similar question and have narrowed down the
problem. How can I get shortcuts to folders to show up when I do a "Save As"? Obviously, others are able to. I have been able to in the past (before my Windows XP operating system was reinstalled). When I "Save As" with Word (or any other data file), any shortcuts to folders are invisible and therefore I cannot "jump" to folders deeper in my directory structure. Polaris wrote to suggest that I put the file containing the shortcuts I need to jump to on my desktop. That works, but when saving, the shortcuts are not visible. This is a useful time-saving practice and I would like help on how I can make shortcuts to folders both visible and active when I perform a "Save As". When I explore the folders I am able to jump directly to the target directory, but when performing a "Save As", the shortcuts to these folders are invisible. Please help. Thanks. Dan |

Dan The "Places Bar" information is helpful and I can use it as a workaround my not being able to view the folder shortcuts. The frustration I have is that the places bar does not appear to be easily modified for programs other than Microsoft Office, and I need the option for other programs. Simply put I am really looking for a solution that will allow me to view the file folder shortcuts I have created in my "JumpTo!" folder when I "Save As" (regardless of the program). I know they're not really folders, but files serving as links to the folders, but they should be visible and operable as they were before. This worked superbly before and I would like some help on how I can get it to work again. Not to sound ungrateful, thank-you Susan for the information regarding the Microsoft Office My Places sidebar; I will make more efficient use of that based on the references you have sent to me.
