Found a software to do all this with more ease

Simpli Software's Places Utility

Download : http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/index.php?request=Places#

but doing it by own efforts feels like more geeky :D

XP sp2 or sp3 in your office? It works fine in XP sp2.

[adi007]

@CadCrazy:yes... that's what i am saying.... it will not work for xp sp3...
there is something wrong....
@new: could u please upload the screenshot showing the option...
It doesn't make sense that they have removed this option in sp3 ..:confused:
@topgear:marvelous softy ...thnks :D

People who are facing problems while getting this option in "gpedit.msc" or ppl who want to do it using registry, can use following ready-made registry script. Copy it and paste in Notepad, save the file with name "VG.reg" (including quotes), run the file and accept the confirmation:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\comdlg32]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\comdlg32\PlacesBar]
"Place0"="A:\\"
"Place1"="C:\\"
"Place2"="D:\\"
"Place3"="E:\\"
"Place4"="F:\\"


The above mentioned code will add A:, C:, D:, E:, and F: drives in left-side pane. Replace values of "Place0", "Place1", "Place2", "Place3", "Place4" with your desired path to change them.

PS: If you want to change the look of Open/save dialog box completely, then open "%windir%\System32\Comdlg32.dll" file in Resource Hacker and goto:

Dialog -> 1552 -> 1033

Now you can play with the position and size of all controls, even you can add your own customized controls in the box.

Got it...
The mistake was the entries are not arranged alphabetically
windows explorer remains at the top..
I used to just glance the w section at the bottom
So silly of me...:p
BTW why the entries are not arranged alphabetically :confused: :mad:

Have a talk with Balmer:)
