save as dialog

[websee]

normally you see items like

My Recent Documents

Desktop

My Documents

My Computer

My Network

on the left of the "Save as.." dialog. i never use My Recent Documents and My Network. is there a way to change them into something i use more often liek D:\Archives or whatever?

Yes, there is a way:

Use Xteq's X-Setup Pro.

It has this thing listed (its a registry action), amongst many others. Just tell it to "record" the actions made, and you have the required .REG before you.

Goto start then select run and type gpedit.msc.

Under User Configuration, Administative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer, Common Open File Dialog you can set a policy for "Items displayed in Places Bar" for 5 items.Then when you are finished you can export

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Comdlg32\Placesbar]

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32\Placesbar

and import them in an unattended install.

benners,

That's a good tip for things like notepad and such, but what about MS Office?

Office programs seem to have their *own* ideas of what should be over there.

Can that be changed as well?

You could try this reg tweak from winguides, I don't use Office so I cant test if this works Winguides

I'll give it a whirl, thanks benners!
