You can modify the five default quick links in the Open and Save common dialog boxes 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, Key.
4. Enter a name of "Placesbar" without quotes and press Enter.
5. Navigate to the new registry subkey.
You can create five entries
(i.e., Place0, Place1, Place2, Place3, and Place4). Make each entry
either a string value (REG_SZ) entry (for a named folder) or a DWORD
value (REG_DWORD) entry (for a special folder, such as My Documents or
My Network Places).
6. To create a new entry, go to the Edit menu, select New, DWORD
Value or New, String Value (as appropriate), enter a name of Placen
(e.g., Place0, Place4), and press Enter.
7. Double-click the entry and set its REG_SZ "Value data" to a path
and folder name or its REG_DWORD "Value data" to a numeric ID (the
table below shows a partial list of these numeric IDs--the shlobj.h
file, which is part of the platform software development kit (SDK),
defines the full list of special numeric IDs).
8. Close the registry editor.
For example, the registry file below sets the following shortcuts.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\comdlg32\Placesbar]
"Place0"=dword:00000000
"Place1"="c:\"
"Place2"=dword:00000012
"Place3"=dword:00000005
"Place4"="c:\download"
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. Each new entry
you add will replace one of the default quick links.
