How to add shortcuts to the [File] Open dialog box?

[jakecox]

Is it possible to programatically add shortcuts to the dialog box that opens when you press the browse button attached to a file/path control? I'd like to be able to add to the list which includes, My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places.

Setting the Places bar on the Windows Common Dialog will require modifications to the registry. To change the Places bar, refer to this webpage on WindowsITPro:

WinITPro: How can I edit the default Places bar quick links in Windows XP's and Windows 2000's Open...

Then, you’ll want to look at the Write Configuration Settings File.vi (LabVIEW 7.1\examples\file\config.llb\Write Configuration Settings File.vi) for an example of how to write information to a configuration file using the configuration VIs.

Best of luck!

Hope this helps!
