WOPR 2000 PlaceBar Customizer Click here to email this to a friend.

The WOPR 2000 PlaceBar Customizer™ is a COM Add-in that allows you to customize the Office 2000 Places bar. The Places bar is the column of folders that runs along the left side of Office 2000 dialog boxes such as File/Open, File/Save As, etc. The Places bar provides a quick shortcut to the folder locations you use most often to store Office documents.

The PlaceBar Customizer lets you specify new user-defined folder locations to replace the five standard locations listed by default on the Places bar. The PlaceBar Customizer also supports a Show Small Icons mode that adds five additional user-definable places to the Places bar.

For more information about the WOPR 2000 PlaceBar visit the WOPR Web site.
