gpedit.msc Open and SaveAs dialog window PlacesBar tweak

I have small misunderstaning using "Microsoft WinXP Group Policy Editor" (gpedit.msc) to tweak the PlacesBar for File-Open dialogs.

If I navigate in Policy Editor to the branch
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows
Explorer\Common Open File Dialog

and then click on "Items displayed in Places Bar" i can configure the file paths of the items on PlacesBar.

The problem is I want to have "My Network Places" icon on the PlacesBar like it was before tweaking. The issue is that when setting value
MyNetworkPlaces
as one file path,
the common Open dialog will appear now without the "Entire Network" item. Besides the PlaceBar item icon is not the nicest then.

Yes, I can hack registry and replace that Place(n) value of REG_SZ type in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32\Placesbar]
with new DWORD 0x00000012 value.
Then I also can see the "Entire Network" icon in the "My Network Places" filelist.


But "WindowsXP Group Policy Editor" seems to accept only strings there.

I would like to know what is the mnemonic-constant/file-path in "WindowsXP Group Policy Editor" to be entered, so that "Entire Network" icon will also be visible in the "My Network Places" filelist among other items?

It just cant be that bad that official tool such as policy editor is so crippled and BS and one has to do extra registry hacking each time policy editor cant handle non string values there?
