When I changed the "Value data" for Place0, Place1, etc, nothing happened. I rebooted and still nothing happened. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Your article really made it very clear and easy to personalise my PC! :D Also thanks to Paul for providing us with different DWORD values for different system locations. I was thinking that what if I wanted to keep the Desktop and My Computer folders in the Places Bar too, and pop came his comment!

The Office registry hack lets you put Name & Path in as values, so that "Xen's pics" shows up in Places rather than "z:\images".

Net Neighbourhood: Create a new double word (DWORD) entry in the Placesbar key named 'PlaceX' where X is the place number 0 - 4. Edit the value to 12 (in HEX) Desktop: Create a new double word (DWORD) entry in the Placesbar key named 'PlaceX' where X is the place number 0 - 4. Edit the value to 0 (in HEX) The rest you just enter the file path, but I'm sure you got that. YOu can also use the microsoft treakUI program. That allows you to do it via a windows app. Hope this helps. Paul Here is the settings for adding the desktop and the network neighbourhood into the my places.
