Save As ... window

When you want to save something off the internet, whether it be a picture or audio file or whatever, you get the pop up window to save. On the left hand side of that window is a vertical bar with several folders in it. (History, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places) I would like to know if and how there is a way to customize those links. Any ideas?

A good question! The answer may be found at the following link: Modifying 'Places' in Save as and Open Dialogs I just tested this solution, and it works fine. However, you are limited to 5 'places', and once you create the registry key, all hardwired places disappear. Hope this helps you.

The link listed is now broken. Can you suggest another source or URL?
