Vista - Computer and Desktop appear twice in Favorite Links pane

Computer and Desktop appear twice in Favorite Links pane

I’ve set up my Favorite Links pane just the way I like it in Windows Explorer. Among other things, I have links to both Desktop and Computer. Works great.

However, whenever I encounter a Save As or File Open dialog, the Favorite Links pane has some extra links added. I’d rather it didn’t – I thought these were meant to be *my* favorite links, not Vista’s idea of what my favorites should be – but I can live with most of them (e.g. My SharePoint Sites, Recent Places).

But the thing that really sucks, is that Vista kindly adds Desktop and Computer as well – oblivious to the fact that they’re already there. So I end up with 2 of them…

If Vista was consistent, then I wouldn’t add them myself. But if I don’t, then they’re not available in Windows Explorer…

Is there a way to limit which additional links Vista adds to the Favorite Links pane in File Open and Save As dialogs?

Thanks!

Hi Jim,

You should be able to remove the Favorite Links that you do not want. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.

Favorite Links

Hope this helps,
