| | Re: How to Add Icon Files Visualvideo You are describing the old style Places Bar which has been deprecated and replaced by the Links section in Vista. This was easily done in XP using the TweakUI utility, but this utility is no longer available in Vista. There are still a lot of programs that display the Places Bar and you can still configure and change these icons in Vista. How you do this depends on which version of Vista you are using. If you let us know which version of Vista you are using we can help. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "visualvideo" <visualvideo@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:05305D91-9E90-4A63-AB14-2B731173CA4E@xxxxxx Quote: > The ICONS on The "OPEN" Panel I want to change are not in the favorites > or > links folder shortcuts...Here's the ICONS listed on The Open Panel left > side > I want to change > -Recent Places Icon > -Desktop Icon > -User Name Icon > -Computer Icon > -Network Icon > > I can't find these Icon Shortcuts anywhere...How do I change these?? > Thanks > > "dzomlija" wrote: > Quote: >> >> visualvideo;502570 Wrote: Quote: >> > How do you add Icons for folders to the left Icon File Open Panel? >> > >> > this is not the favorites folder?? >> > >> > thank you >> Click the Start Button, then your Username.

| | Re: How to Add Icon Files Visualvideo I do understand that you are talking about the Places Bar. Those icons you see there are not standard shortcuts, they are placed there by entries in the registry. Let me know which edition of Vista you have installed and I will give you the procedure for adding to or replacing those icons. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "visualvideo" <visualvideo@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:24274DE7-EC91-4319-9273-9F83A1739834@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi thanks for the reply...its not in the Links Folder...this is a > different > set of Icons on the left side Open Panel..I looked thru all the Folders > and I > can't find them.. > How can I locate these Icons that I listed... > > These are the Icons I want to add to or replace and cannot find them > listed > in any folders or shortcuts > Recent Places Icon Quote: >> -Desktop Icon >> -User Name Icon >> -Computer Icon >> -Network Icon > thanks > > "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote: > Quote: >> Visualvideo >> >> You are describing the old style Places Bar which has been deprecated and >> replaced by the Links section in Vista.
