how to customize open/save dialogue box

[RJL]

In Office applications, there is a very familiar dialogue box for opening or
saving files. On the left border, there is a vertical column that typically
contains icons for Favorites, My Documents, Desktop, etc.
How do I add or remove items in this list? Unfortunately, I don't know what
the official name for this list is so it is difficult to search the help
files.

I am currently using Office 2007 and Windows XP.

Select something ( Folder )in the "file pane" and then r-click in the
"My Places" pane.

Thanks. I managed to add folders to the My Places pane, but I can't figure
out how to remove (or change the relative position of) folders.

When I right click on folders in the My Places pane, some have "remove",
"move up" and "move down" grayed-out. Others do not. How can I manipulate
the ones that are grayed-out?

If the you can't move others up to replace the one you want down, I
suspect you can't. As for removing the system assigned ones, probably
only by editing the registry.
