A couple of (probably odd) tweak questions

[Viper187]

First off, I was wondering if it's possible to change the special locations that are shown on most Open/Save dialogs in Windows (XP/2k/2k3)... the buttons that appear on the left side (My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, Network Places), not the combo box on top. Can those be changed?

I was also wondering if anyone has ever found a way to modify the default File > Save As filetype for webpages in Internet Explorer. Some of us don't like "Webpage Complete" and are getting rather tired of changing it every goddamn time because the stupid thing won't remember a little thing like that.

For First 1 : For This Order : My Computer; Desktop; My Documents, I've DEL Recent Docs And Network... I've Used RegShot And TuneUp To See The Difference...

;Places Bar

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ComDlg32\PlacesBar]

"Place0"=dword:00000011

"Place1"=dword:00000000

"Place2"=dword:00000005

For 2nd..Don't know !

"Webpage Complete"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

"NoBrowserSaveWebComplete"=dword:00000000

"**del.NoBrowserSaveWebComplete"=" "

In explorer.exe, I use the address bar to change the path that I am currently viewing most of the time. Is there a way to make the drop down in the open dialog editable as well?

I gotta run to a meeting when i get back i'll try and google the "My Places" tweak.

hrm, these tweaks only seem to affect it inside office programs.

1. TweakUI.

2. http://puppypc.com/windows/rt/comdlg_placebar.htm

[Swimming_Bird]

btw, the tweakui change just is an automatic way of doing that other link. and custom locations are stored as REG_EXPAND_SZ

@LiquidSage - that also removes MHT. For me, I wrote a program to automatically select MHT. If anybody wants it, here's the link: http://kajsoftware.cjb.net/software.php

So, there is no way of having more than 5 special locations in the save dialog?

No, it's almost impossible to add new functionality to a program. There may be some replacement open dialog you can download. I've heard of them, but don't remember what it was called. And I don't know if it even had that feature.
