Default Favorites Button gone from Insert File Dialog Box

hi, at my company we have upgraded several users from
OfficeXP(2002) to Office2003. In Outlook2002, when you
chose to Insert File, the dialog box had a button for
Favorites. In Outlook2003, the button is missing and I
can't find any info about how to get it in there.

any help is appreciated.

You can add back Favorites to all Open/Save dialogs by modifying the
registry.
First, hide an existing 'place' by setting Show = 0
Then, add a User Defined Place1
Then, name it 'Favorites'
Then, point it at the user's Favorites folder (this was for Win2k/XP).

Here is a sample:

WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 \Common\Open
Find\Places\StandardPlaces\Publishing", "Show", "0", "REG_DWORD")
ADDKEY ("HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 \Common\Open
Find\Places\UserDefinedPlaces\Place1")
WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 \Common\Open
Find\Places\UserDefinedPlaces\Place1", "Name", "Favorites", "REG_SZ")
WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 \Common\Open
Find\Places\UserDefinedPlaces\Place1", "Path", "c:\documents and
settings\%username%\favorites", "REG_SZ")
