Office 2000 - Can you modify the "Open" window?

Anakalia · 3rd May 2002

Ever since my company upgraded to Office 2000 I've been wondering about something. When I'm in any of the MS software, let's say Word for instance, and I want to open a file, I get the "Open" window.

I'm lazy and hate having to use the drop down to get to my most used area/files. Is there a way I can add a selection to the list I have on the left side of the window (where Histroy, My Documents, Desktop, etc. is listed)?

Just wondering if there's a way to throw something in there...

Thanks!

M$ Word might not be a good example cause of Tools->Options->File Location can be set.

But yes there is a registry hack to can do for other programs. I bet someone will come along and post it
