Save As ... how to change ?

[OM]

When I select "Save As", the box that comes up has a list of desitnations
down the left - "History", "My Documents", "Desktop", "My Computer", and "My
Network". Is it possible to change these, and even modify the choices
depending on the program I'm using.

For example, if I'm using MS Word, there are directories that I use more
often than if I'm using Excel. I would like the Word directories listed when
I "Save As" in Word, and the Excel directories when using Excel.

Thanks,

Rob Lepper

Thanks very much Alan, and as part of the searching (actually a link at the
bottom of the site you gave), was the following site

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...c5-1da1-483f-b5f4-5243c0d2ca96&displaylang=en

with a wonderfull little program called Places.dll from Microsoft to do this
for Office applications.

Thanks again,

That would be Places.exe and I was not aware it worked for anything
but Office 2000. It doesn't list Win XP as supported (it is rather
old) but if it does work, please report back.

Ummm... well.... I'm actually using XP Pro, but Office 2000 (hey, still does
everything I need,and more...), and yes Places.exe does work with that
combination.
