James, AFAIK there is only one tool that does what you want: Truly Your Places Bar. You can find the free version he http://www.softwarecandy.com/shop/in...roduct_free_sh.... HTH, Jon If you can't use TweakUI with your account, I'd suggest doing as Peter says and grant yourself admin privileges; there's no harm in this if you do it temporarily, just for this exercise. Log in as Administrator (or an account with Administrator privileges) and add your Limited Account to the Administrors group. Log out, log in as yourself, do the work with TweakUI (install it and make the tweaks), then log back in as Admin and remove yourself from the Admin group. The changes made by TweakUI will hold, I'd imagine. Olórin, thanks for your detailed answer. I ended up purchasing the 5- shortcut version of "Truly Your Places Bar" (only $3) as this was quicker for me and I can re-use it as many times as I want. The procedure you described is very much appreciated but this is too much hassle for me. I tried some of the other tools you described but they all have the same limitation as TweakUI - they work for Administrator account only. John, thanks for bringing this little tool to my attention. I didn't know about it before. It works for me and I am happy now. James |
