I have a question about Customize
Common Dialogs:
The windows XP method for open, save and save-as that seems to truly work.
My specific problem - i am administering a lab with 4 machines that use a single
file server as the primary place to store files, naturally, i want that place to
appear at the top of the places bar.
How i did it:
The key i played with is:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32\PlacesBar\
I needed to create both the "comdlg32" and "PlacesBar" keys.
inside the "PlacesBar" key, i created 5 values, for my first since it was a custom
place, i created a STRING value, named "Place0" (Note: the index starts at 0, not
1), and the value of "S:\" (my file server mount).
For my other 4 places, i created DWORDS named "Place1" "Place2" "Place3" and "Place4".
The values for these, i got from the table at :

Works great, 100% reproducible on WinXP SP1
