The Places Bar in Windows appears in every save and open dialog in Windows. It is placed on the left side of the dialog displaying five locations that can be reached by clicking on them, think of favorites or quick links and you pretty much got it.
I already covered one application that can edit that Places Bar in Windows but it’s never bad to have additional applications available that can do the same in case one of them disappears from the Internet. (yes that can happen).
Once you start the PlacesBar Tweaker application you see the five current places on the left side. Those places can be moved around to arrange them in a different order. More important than that is obviously the ability to change a location into a different one.
The user has the choice to enter a path on the hard drive of the computer (or browse to that path) or to pick a so called special folder to become one of the five places that are available. Special folders are for example links to the desktop, my documents or my network places.
Once the places are arranged the way you want them to be you can live preview the changes. There is always the option to restore the default values in case something went wrong and you want to stick with the default values again.
There is no information about the supported operating systems, all I can say is that it is running without problems on my English Windows XP Service Pack 3 system.

There are so many of these type applications floating around!
One might think that Microsoft would have gotten on the ball by now and added a little code to allow the user to directly modify or add locations .
But no, Microsoft would rather spend time designing new “eye-candy” interfaces instead. This is why Microsoft continues to flounder.
You can do the same thing with Tweakui2.0, which is made by MS if i don’t make a mistake, and custom many other things like special folders for example (nice to have Desktop, my documents, my music etc in special folders placed on another partition than Windows).
@osi – Yes, but TweakUI is NOT SUPPORTED software from MS. And the functionality to relocated folders is limited.
If you really want to move all your user settings and folders under C:\Documents and Settings\username, check this link out:
