Re: Open/Save As File Shortcut



You can also create the PlacesN value as REG_EXPAND_SZ, so you can use
environment variables. I have a My Downloads folder to contain all Internet
Downloads and I set Places4 to REG_EXPAND_SZ to %USERPROFILE%/My
Documents/My Downloads.

You can only do this thru Regedit, though.

Yep, they sure can. Here are two ways that I know of (and there are
probably more):

TweakUI provides an interface to do this:

If you don't want all of TweakUI, and you're feeling a little adventurous,
lookee here:

When you "save as" or "open" file a dialog box opens allowing you to
navigate to the file or folder. On the left side of this box is a
shortcut menu with the following icons:
My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network
Places..
Can these available selections be edited??
