customize open/save dialogue

Hi, is it possible to customize the lefthand list of locations (Desktop, My Network Places, My Documents, My Computer, My Recent Documents) in the XP open / Save window in XP with my own locations?

I found this app, http://www.lsi-dev.com/index.php?mod=articles&ref=19, but after wading through the French and getting it to work it does not customize these windows (Open / Save) in Word etc. It does work in other examples of this window e.g. regedit etc though.

search for tweakui @microsoft.com. after installing it, go to common dialogs > places bar.

If you are using Windows XP Pro, You don't need a third party app. You can do it in Gpedit.

I use Enhanced File Dialog, it's part of the ObjectDesktop suite from Stardock.

thank you all. I'll give it a go!

;o)

OK, tried with some degree of success both TweakUI and gpedit. Unfortunately, the customizations do not show up in the Open/Close dialogues for Microsoft Office 2003 apps. Any further ideas. Don't want to install OD as it's a work laptop.
