    How to add location to the Save as Dialogue box?

    Very simple, TweakUI 2.10, it does exactly what you want.

    (There is a set of reg key changes to do the same, but this is easier)

    Thank you!
    If you know the set of registry keys - I would be very happy (As I am always trying to avoid installing what I don't really "use" on frequent base).

    EDIT-I think I found it - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/PlacesBar.htm
    Edit #2 - Both tweakUI and previous link does not affect the Dialog box on MS-Office but does affect other "places" (like notepad for instance) - I dug more into it and found this http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;282087 - this does the trick for Office (and it is quite "elegantly" put in the "Tools" drop down menu) - I would have never guessed it alone. - Thanks Techz for lighting up (I didn't know the right definition so Techz helped a lot).

    Cheers,
    Gabriel
