Improved Windows XP Open Window

In Windows XP, there are several system-defined folders on the left side of many software open or save windows. Is there a way to replace them with our usual folders? Of course, using Group Policy can improve your open window.

Click “Start →Run”, Tip: Enter gpedit.msc to open the “Group Policy Editor window. Select “User Configuration →Administrative Templates & Rarr;Windows Components & Rarr;Windows Explorer & Rarr;Common Open File Dialog", double-click the item displayed in the location bar in the right window, open “Location The item displayed in the column "Properties window". Click the “Enabled” item in the “Settings" tab, and you will see the middle “displayed position" there are 5 items below, which correspond to the 5 buttons in the open window. Just enter your usual folder path in the input box after these items, you can see this common folder button on the left side of the open window, and finally click the OK button to complete the settings.

OK, open Notepad now, select “File →Open”,瞧, the button on the left has become our favorite folder. If you want to change it back later, just select the “Disabled” or “Unconfigured” option in the <quo;Items displayed in the location bar.

However, the above method is invalid for the open window in MS Office. Changing the open window of Office must be implemented by modifying the registry.

Tip: Open the Registry Editor and expand the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\11.0\\Common\\OpenFind\\Places\\UserDefinedPlaces” branch (note: 11.0 in the key-value path varies with the Office version) , Office2003 is 11.0, OfficeXP is 10.0, Office2000 is 9.0), create a new "item", and then create two more under the new item "string value": a name named "ld"; name”, the key value is “My file"; a file named <;path”, the key value is "H:\\ME\\My file", which is used to specify the name and path of the button to be added. Repeat this step to add additional folder buttons. After that, we can right-click the Add button in the Open window of Office to select “Upward" to adjust the position of these buttons, or you can choose to rename or delete.
