PlacesBar Tweaker

PlacesBar Tweaker is a small software application developed specifically for helping you customize the Windows Common dialog (‘Open’ and ‘Save As’ panels) in several ways. The tool provides a simple approach for helping you tweak Places Bar by rearranging and replacing the five options which are displayed by default in Windows.

You are welcomed by a clean and intuitive GUI that allows you to set up the dedicated parameters in a short amount of time. Although you cannot appeal to a help manual, you can decode the configuration settings on your own because they look easy to work with. All setup options are integrated into a single window.

The tool integrates a Places Bar directly in the main window in order to help you get an idea about how the final layout looks like. Plus, you are allowed to arrange the locations in a preferred order by moving items up or down.

PlacesBar Tweaker offers you the possibility to change the location of system folders, such as Desktop, Local Disk, My Computer, My Pictures, and My Documents. You are given the freedom to choose between several preset locations or manually specify the target drive or folder. Directories can be dragged and dropped directly in the main window for faster actions.

A preview mode is implemented for helping you check out how the new adjustments are applied. In case you are not happy with the final results, you can restore the default settings with a single click.

Tests have shown that the application executes the OS changes very quickly and without affecting the stability of your computer. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the PC is not hampered.

If you are looking for simple ways to add your frequently accessed folders in the ‘Open’ and ‘Save As’ dialogs' sidebar, PlacesBar Tweaker helps you accomplish this OS enhancement task on the fly.
