    Any possible way to add custom shortcuts on the "Open"/etc. shortcut bars in XP?

    The area circled in red is what I want to modify. There are a few select folders on my HDD that I would like to have shortcuts to point to for quick access. Since I rarely use the "My Networks" etc. shortcuts. I'm wondering if I can add, or make custom shortcuts on that bar?

    Add Folders to � Save As � choice

    In WinXP Pro, just open the Group Policy (type gpedit.msc in the Run command), go to :

    User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Explorer / Common Open File Dialog and Enable the � Items Displayed in the Places Bar � option.

    You can set any location, and it also offers you the most commons places by only typing i.e. MyMusic, instead of the full path.

    I've used TweakUI so many times in the past for other things that I never bothered to notice this. Thank you!

    MicroSoft put out a bunch of XP PowerToys, one called TweakUI that can change those settings. I've been using it for years. It's not hard to find with a search. It lets you do other things too, like fully turn off autoplay on specific drive letters and manipulate various user interface settings.

    Just got it all setup, things are so much easier now.

    Only thing I wish you could do, would be to make the icons smaller. Instead of the current full size they show as. But this is good enough.
