Adding locations to Save As Dialog box

Hi there - I would dearly love to add some regular locations in the left hand column of the Save As dialog box. On some programs I can add folders (Office 07 I think) but on others, e.g. CS3, etc. I've only got the option of Desktop, Owner, Computer, Network, etc: not even documents!

I am admin of this machine so should be able to do it if it's possible - any ideas anyone? Would be eternally grateful - rsi possibilities would decrease dramatically!

Thanks

Re: Adding locations to Save As Dialog box

Thanks Ramesh - just read the article and checked out the links in my profile - there are some there I have created - so far these are only appearing in Windows Explorer and a couple of Office dialog boxes.

Was hoping to get them on all Save As dialog boxes. Any thoughts?

Re: Adding locations to Save As Dialog box

reneegade,

May be you need to expand the Favorite Links area by dragging the cursor (double arrow) to the bottom. If that does not help, pls post a screenshot so that I can try to repro the problem. Also, is this problem specific to one particular application, or for all common file dialogs in general?
