    Change win7 "Save As" box to classic winxp box


    When I do a "save link as" or "Save as" I get a dialog box with a navigation tree pane on the left side much like windows explorer. How do I switch to the classic windows xp style with big shortcut icons in the left pane as shown here: add shortcuts to "save as" window

    Use the "Favorites" in the tress to achieve the same thing.
    You can add new shortcuts here: C:\Users\[username]\Links
    Or just drag a folder or file to the "Favorites" section to create a link.

Hi All I have thought about this detail for long as I have often files I have to "save as" to a few " favourite" folders. How could I add those folders(links) to the 'save as' context menu("sidebar"). It would save me lots of time. Is my question understandable? Thanks
