Customizing the OPEN dialog box?
I would like to modify the ICONS down the left side of the common OPEN dialog
box (where it has My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Docs, My Computer etc...). Can a shortcut to a favourite location (folder) by put here? If so, how? Can items be removed from here?

Re: Customizing the OPEN dialog box?
It's called the Places bar.
Edit the Places bar locations in 'Open/Save As' common dialog boxes http://windowsxp.mvps.org/PlacesBar.htm -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

Re: Customizing the OPEN dialog box?
Is this editing capability restricted to WinXP or can it be done in earlier
versions (esp. Win2K)?
