Thank you for sharing. I followed your instructions and it works fine so far.

However, is there any way to show the "favourites" list in the places bar?

Hello Wotaewer, and welcome to Seven Forums.

No, but you could add Favorites to the places bar by adding the folder below if you like.

C:\Users\(user-name)\Links

awesome! This worked perfectly - thank you very much!

I took out the "P:\client" but I still only get the default options in the "save as" dialog.

Sorry I missed your reply. Did you get this sorted?

Hi again Brink, no, I have not been able to get this to work. I seem to be the only one. I've kind of resigned myself to the idea that it just won't happen for me.

Oh, I like that idea... will give it a try as soon as I have some time and let you know how it goes. thanks again :)

Hi Shawn,

again a Forum Tutorial which saves so much clicking, and it can be done with
the more or less hidden Windows 7 features (Group Policy Editor) ...

It was most annoying to have the new Win 7 Common File Dialog Box with the ability
to store own favorites and then have some programs using the old XP style box, where
the defaults didn't fit my needs.

Many thanks,
Tom.

Addition :

I meanwhile worked for some hours with my older version of a popular picture editing
program, which uses the old XP box. The difference between "before" and "now" is
much bigger than I expected :

Now it's really ten times more fun to save the files.

Thanks again and some virtual hugs ...
