Hi Yanwei

You may want to post the question to the MS Windows XP newsgroup for that places bar. There are different, similar looking dialogs
throughout Windows. Some can be customized, some can not.

========Hi Bob

Thanks for the reply, but I want to know if the standard OS Place Bar
can have more than 5, not the Office verstion of the Place Bar. As I
undertsand it they are two different things and governed by two
regsitry enteries in different locations. The PlaceBar for Office can
only be used by the office applications, like Word, Excel, etc. However
the standard one is used by all other applications like FireFox,
Thunderbird, Paint, etc.

There are many postings about the Office PlaceBar, but not many on the
standard PlaceBar other than using Group Policy and Tweak UI which all
offer 5 slots.

So can the standard PlaceBar have more than 5 icons?
Thanks
