......Either type (or 'copy and paste') the following command into the
"Run" box on your 'Start Menu' or a 'Command Prompt' (dos-box) window :

reg ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32
/v NoPlacesBar /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

(The above command should be all on one line but may not appear so due
to line-wrap. Please ensure that the command begins with 'reg' and ends
with '/f')

....or go to the reg-key above and add the dword value "NoPlacesBar" and
set it to 1

Alternatively, the [small] program from Microsoft called TweakUI.exe
"powertoy" for XP has a setting under "Common Dialogs" that shows /
hides the "Places" bar and also allows you to customize what places they
are.

Download TweakUI.exe for XP from Microsoft :

*Note - Please exercise care when editing the registry, always create a
backup and / or create a 'System Restore' point first.
