| | add folder to Save As... dialog I want to be able to add a folder to the Save As... dialog box for ALL of my applications. I can do this in office by using the Add to Favorite Places option. How can I add my own folder to the standard Windows dialog so that its icon shows up with the others (Desktop, Computer, Network, etc.)? I'm assuming this will involve some sort of registry setting. Is the procedure the same for all versions of Vista? How about for XP? Thanks. |

The major difference is that in XP you have a New Folder button on the Save As dialog tool bar. In Vista, just navigate to the drive (or location) where you want to save the file, right-click in the files area on the right and choose New | Folder. Name the new folder, press Enter to set the name, and voila, the new folder is available in the list on the left. (It is also automatically opened; view the path in the address bar.) |

| | Re: add folder to Save As... dialog I guess I should be more specific - I'm not trying to create a NEw folder. I want to add to the SHORTCUTS that are all the way to the left in the dialog. They are large icons - not the yellow folders. (To see what I mean, open Word and save a document. You will see the vertical strip of large icons down the left side of the dialog box.) -Dom "brie@xxxxxx" wrote: Quote: > On Mon, 26 Nov 2007 10:43:02 -0800, Domenick > <Domenick@xxxxxx> wrote: > Quote: > >I want to be able to add a folder to the Save As... dialog box for ALL of my > >applications.

| | Re: add folder to Save As... dialog Hmmm ... I see. I would think that you would get a more informed answer if you posted to the Office newsgroup. Perhaps this one: http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&lang=en&cr=us On Mon, 26 Nov 2007 20:24:01 -0800, Domenick <Domenick@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: >I guess I should be more specific - I'm not trying to create a NEw folder.
