Why click through a series of locations to find the file you want, when a snappy little shortcut will take you right to it? And on the flip side, why have shortcuts to folders you never use?

Microsoft’s default shortcuts for Windows XP/Office 2003 users are My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, and My Network Places. Do you use any or all of those?
Good news: You are by no means stuck with these idle default locations. You can hide them with a simple Windows Registry edit. And for complete customization, you can also add locations you actually do use (the My Places bar can store up to 256) and rearrange the order of all your shortcuts. Here we’re working in Office 2007 and Windows XP. The steps to edit the Registry are the same no matter which version of Office you’re using just be sure to navigate to the correct Office version in the directory tree. Read More»
