Places bar is on the left

[[The common dialog boxes, such as the Save As dialog box, display the
places bar on the left side. These are shortcuts to common folders, which
make getting around much easier. By default, you see the History, Documents,
Desktop, Favorites, and My Network Places folders there. You can customize
the folders that appear in the places bar by using the Common Dialogs
category in Tweak UI.]]
Use TweakUI, Edit the registry or use System Policy Editor. Or if MS
Office, scroll down.

Thanks Wesley. I generally just think of that as the common tasks dialogs,
and hadn't seen it referred to as the places bar- that and the fact that I
don't use that dialog, preferring to the more traditional folders view.
