Customizing Explorer sidebar
Thanks Ken,
I didn't know that area had a special name! The document you linked to had been removed or renamed but I did find one that discusses this. I am sure this is easy to do once you understand what they are saying there, but I tried it and was not able to add the desired folder.

Sue, I just searched on MS KB and found this article, which does give the needed information http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826214/en-us The important step seems to be using the Tools dropdown in the toolbar (top right) to find the Add to Places Bar command - a typically unintuitive MS thing to do; why it couldn't be in the shortcut menu, or somewhere more obvious only MS can explain... -- RobinD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobinD's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/robind.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/customize-xp/906788.htm http://forums.techarena.in

Thats the strange thing many wonders why and that is what Microsoft does. As you said, only they can explain it. Anyways, thanks for that link. -- spuff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ spuff's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/spuff.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/customize-xp/906788.htm http://forums.techarena.in
