Has anybody succeeded in customizing the Places Bar for VS 2008? My customizations from VS 2005 did not transfer to 2008 (obviously), and no matter what I do with the registry, I cannot make my custom places appear on the Open dialogs. I have read and applied the relevant MS KB article, to no avail.
This used to work fine with VS 2005, so it may well be a VS 2008 bug, but I may be wrong trying the same approach.
some observations:
VS2008 uses now Common File Dialog. With Powertoys TweakUK i was able to set all places to ‘none’ and the VS2008 ‘Open File’ dialog becomes empty.
Unfortunately VS2008 ignores user defined places or directories, and shows instead the default places: ‘Desktop’, ‘standard_project_folder’, ‘My Computer’.
With Sysinternals RegMon i see that Registry Key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32\PlacesBar] gets read on ctrl+o…altough the places defined in here are still being ignored.
