Found a software to do all this with more ease

Simpli Software's Places Utility

http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public...request=Places

Download : http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public...equest=Places#

but doing it by own efforts feels like more geeky

Default Re: How to place your desired drives in the Save As option

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:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\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.
