Default Modifying Open and Save As Dialog Boxes

In Word 2003, I was able to add locations to the shortcuts on the left side
of the Open and Save As dialog boxes. I can't figure out how to do this in
Word 2007. Any ideas?

Default Modifying Open and Save As Dialog Boxes

Hi Tim,

In Word 2007 navigate to the folder you want to add then right click in the places bar on the left side of the Open or Save dialog
and choose 'Add'.

Default Modifying Open and Save As Dialog Boxes

Thanks. That works. So how do I remove some of the defaults in the list?
The folder at the top is called "Trusted Templates" (I'm not even sure what
that is), and apparently can't be removed or even moved down the list. Any
ideas?

Default Modifying Open and Save As Dialog Boxes

If Word 2007 is like previous versions, you can't remove the default
"places" except by editing the Registry (which affects your ability to add
new places), but you can move them down. If your custom places fill the
Places Bar, the default ones will be hidden.

That's apparently true for all places except for "Trusted Templates." There
is no option to "Move Down" and no option to move the one below it up.
Where in the registry can I get rid of this?

Directions for earlier versions are at
http://www.gmayor.com/customize_the_word_places_bar.htm. No guarantee that
they work in Word 2007.

Default Modifying Open and Save As Dialog Boxes

Hi Tim,

As Suzanne mentioned the 'default' choices in the File Open/File Save 'Places Bar' are in the registry.

You can hide most of the built-ins by modifying the registry for Word 2000 and higher using the techniques shown in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826214/en-us?FR=1


For Office 2007 the 'Trusted Templates' are sort of tied to the settings in Word 2007 under
Office Button-Word Options=Trust Center=Trust Center Settings
for 'Trusted Locations'
But, even if you disable the trusted locations choice there it still appears in File=Open and it doesn't, at first look, appear to
be an item that fan be hidden from the registry entry mentioned in the article above.
