Hi all!

I've got this problem with standard "open / save as" dialogs. When I click on the drop-down menu named "Look in", I can only see "Recent documents", "Desktop", and "My Documents".

Of course it is a pain, because I can't go directly to my C:, and clicking on the drop-down selects Recent Docs, which takes several seconds to open.

I recently changed an option in the group policies for open dialog (for the shortcuts on the left column). I tried to change back to the default configuration but it didn't help.

Anyone? Please?

Long shot? You can make such long shots how often you wish!

That solves my problem, I'm impressed.
What a nice side effect.

Thanks a lot!
