XP experts - favorites?

jw7 · August 22nd, 2003, 09:35 AM

In windows 2000, when you would get a "file - open" or "file - save as" dialog box, there was an icon on the left that said "favorites". I used to bookmark my most-used folders there.

It seems to have disappeared in the XP dialogs - any idea on if its possible to get it back or is there something similar?

I know you can still do that when you're in MS Office XP.

Actually, I can do it in Notepad too...let me look into how you get it to appear.

Thanks, Mike - but I forgot to mention, I am still running Office 2000, not office XP, so that is probably the problem. I'm getting office XP in a few weeks so if you are seeing them, then that should solve the problem.

Thanks!

Oh just in case anyone is interested, I downloaded "TweakUI" from microsoft, and it allowed me to customize how XP works, including adding favorites to dialogs.

Pretty cool.
