Adding Shptcuts to File Dialog PaneHello, I post a picture of the problem below. I hope someone can help.
AK [attached file: SNAGHTML488d0f.PNG] You should try to describe your problem in words, since most people who
answer questions in this group (including me) will only read plain text. On the basis of what you wrote in the Subject line, I'm going to guess that you're asking about the My Places Bar. "How to customize the My Places bar in both the Open and the Save As dialog boxes in Office" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826214 Sorry if I guessed wrong. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est AK wrote: Show quote > Hello, I post a picture of the problem below.

Thanks for answering though. I find that the area I was talking about is called the "My Places" and both the answers here were of great help. Would be nice it the My places could handle more than 5 in non-office apps. Anyway thanks again.

added more than 5 to File Open boxes, but you have to scroll to get to all the icons. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est AK wrote: Show quote > Sorry, > > Thanks for answering though.

The easiest way to do this is with a program available from Microsoft called TweakUI. Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Direct Download of TweakUI http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe Once the program is installed, go to Start -> All Programs -> Powertoys for Windows XP -> TweakUI. Click the plus sign next to Common Dialogs and click on Places Bar. In the right hand pane, select Custom places bar. You can now change any or all of the 5 default places to ones of your choosing. Here are a couple of articles with more info.

According to what I've read the limit there is 256 places.
