The Open and Save common dialog boxes display a bar along the left- hand
side with quick links to the following default locations:
* History
* My Documents
* Desktop
* Favorites
* My Network Places
You can hide this bar by performing the following steps:
1. Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\co
mdlg32 subkey. (If this subkey doesn't exist, select New, Key from the
Edit menu to create it.)
3. From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value.
4. Enter a name of
NoPlacesBar
and press Enter.
5. Double-click the new value, set it to 1, and click OK.
6. Close the registry editor.
The registry change will take effect immediately. To enable the Places
bar again, either delete the NoPlacesBar registry value or set it to 0.
This change will not affect applications within the Microsoft Office
suite but will affect applications, such as Notepad and Microsoft
Paint, that use the Open and Save common dialog boxes.
