Customize your Open File dialog's My Places bar.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the frequently used folders you use
everyday were right there in your
My Places Bar when you need to open
something
quick? Software Candy has created a solution to let you
modify the My Places Bar
to
fit your
needs.
Are you scrolling through an endless list of folders on your dialog
box every time you open or save a photo or document? Sometimes the
Recent Documents option just won't cut it. If you’re tired of
searching for that same buried folder again then Truly Your Places
Bar is right for you.
It’s Easy!
With the Truly Your Places Bar free download from Software Candy
you can change the My Network shortcut to the folder of your choice
located anywhere on your computer or network. Now your folder is
ready to be accessed whenever you need it with a single click. No
hassles or registry tweaks required.
Now with version 2.0 there’s no need to be the administrator
to use it either, Truly Your Places Bar
works even on
limited accounts!
It’s Inexpensive!
Actually, it’s FREE! We’re offering this timesaving
application on CNET download.com too, but if you want to be sure
that you’re getting the latest version just add it to your
cart today. This is a great opportunity to try out one of Software
Candy’s innovative fixes to everyday Windows XP problems and
see how much simpler your computer can be.
It’s Safe!
Rest assured, just because this version of Truly Your Places Bar is
free doesn’t mean it’s like some other
“free” downloads out on the web. Software Candy’s
applications never contain spyware and you won't suddenly become
bombarded by spam.
Need fast access to more than one preferred folder? Try out Truly
Your Places Bar
Pro. Software Candy’s upgraded
version
will allow you to change
all five shortcuts
on
your Open and Save As dialog boxes.
What is My Places Bar and
what
Truly Your Places Bar does for you?
Windows® XP provides, in the Open File dialog (or Save
File dialog), a pane of shortcuts on the left. You can use it to
save time getting to your folders and files.
By default, My Places Bar contains shortcuts to the My Recent
Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, and My Network
Places folders.
This is a great feature of Windows XP and a great time saver. There
is, however, one tiny problem with it:
Your
frequently
used folder is not among those five shortcuts - and there is no way
for you, the user, to replace even one of those with your own
shortcut.
Fortunately, with
Software
Candy's
Truly
Your
Places Bar™ you can accomplish just that - replace the
last shortcut (My Network) with any folder in your system (even a
network folder!).
When you install Software Candy's Truly Your Places Bar, you will
be prompted with the following folder selection dialog box. You
then select your favorite frequently used folder, which will
replace the My Network shortcut (the bottom most icon).
Then, from now on, whenever your invoke the Save (or Open) File
dialog box, you will be able to select, with a
single click, your
favorite frequently
used folder:
Note:
The free
version of Software Candy's Truly Your Places Bar™ Bar allows
you to replace only one shortcut - and it is always the bottom
one. The Pro version, Truly Your Places Bar Pro™, allows you
to replace all five shortcuts.
News Update: Starting from version 2.0,
this product
allows you to work its magic within
Limited
accounts as
well. To take advantage of this feature, simply log into the
account in which you want to customize My Places Bar and run:
- Start Menu > All Programs >
SoftwareCandy>
TrulyYourPlacesBar > Setup for Additional
Accounts
You will be guided by Software Candy's friendly installation wizard
in exactly the same way as that of the master setup file. Just make
sure that when you first install the master setup file you
downloaded, the master account in which you perform the
initial install is a member of the
Administrators
group only
(no additional groups).
In order to immediately enjoy this great time saver, all you
need to do is:
