    Well, the Favorites in Win7 also include data, so the functionality is a lot more extensive. However, we are only talking about a link in a program.

    This should allow you to remove these from the navigation pane in both the Windows Explorer windows and the smaller "Save As" type windows.

    Favorites - Add or Remove from Navigation Pane

    Libraries Folder - Add or Remove from Navigation Pane

    User Folder - Add or Remove from Navigation Pane

    Homegroup - Add or Remove from Navigation Pane

    I was browsing the 4 options you showed, but am having a few problems. One, is that Computer is my top, not Desktop, so the User thing, which I wanted to add under desktop, isn't even an option. Is there a way to change Computer to Desktop, as it was in Vista?

    Also, when removing favorites, it won't let me change the registy value, it just says error, unable to change.

    Thank you for any help!

    Hello Kelderic, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You will only be able to add items under Favorites in Windows Explorer. You cannot change them in Windows Explorer, but you can use your own in the smaller "Save as" or "Open" type windows.

    Common File Dialog Box - Customize Places Bar

    To be able to remove Favorites, or any of them, you will need to be logged in as an administrator. If you are, then double check to make sure that you have done each step exactly. Especially steps 4 and 5.

    Hope this helps for now,
    Shawn

    Actually, in the few minutes since I originally posted, I have figured out both of my issues. Of the not letting me change registry values, it was because I messed up when adding the permission, I gave it to System instead of Admin. Of the other, it was because I didn't have Show All Folder check marked.

    Thank you for the quick response though, and for the welcome! Very much appreciate it.
