Windows Explorer, Favorite Links in Dialog box...

Hi to everyone who reads this.

In my profile folder C:\Users..., I can add some favorite links in the Links folder, and if everything goes well you should see them everywhere on the left side in Windows Explorer and the dialog windows.

I made 4 screenshots, the first (1) is from my Links folder as it should be.
The second is from a "Save as" dialog window in Paint (2), and on the left side (where the favorite links are), you'll see the 4 links that I personally added. And that is the way I want them to be.
But in that same screenshot you'll see in the address bar that I have navigated to my Links folder (Koppelingen in Dutch), and there are only 2 links shown.

So when I manually put Desktop and Computer to my Links folder, the next time I try to save something in Paint or IE, I'll see that Desktop and Computer are shown twice on the left section (favorite links) of that dialog window, see scrnsht (3).
So I guess that Windows automaticly adds Desktop and Computer to dialog windows, and thats why I see them double in dialog boxes, but not in Explorer.

In that dialog window (Save as) I did a right click on each of the double icons, and choose to remove the Link, but when I did that I still had one Link each over.
So after deleting those two double icons I stil saw the links in the Favorite Links section as I want them to be. I closed the Save as box and navigated to my Links folder of my profile, and in there I only saw 2 links.
Can you still follow...
The ones I deleted in that dialog box must have been linked to my Links folder?
But the weird thing about this is that while I was stil in that dialog box and deleted those double icons, I stil saw 4 links. Those I prefer.
And a few seconds later when browse to my Links folder there were only 2 shown.
How's that possible???


Hopefully I can find some support on that please.

Best regards Carlo

Hello Carlo!

I think I may know of the issue here. Just to confirm for me, before I explain the situation to you, could you please click on the Drop down at the bottom of the Paint Open File Dialogue and select All Files. Can you please tell me if the Desktop and Computer links now show up?

Thanks!

Hello!

Sorry about my last post. Lorien and I have been discussing it, and I understand the issue a lot better now, and we will explain it to you later. I am really sorry that I don't have time now, I am going out.

Hi Niemiro

I don't know if it is still relevant what you asked in your first post, but I couldn't find "All Files" in the drop down menu of Paint "Save As". This is probable due to the fact that Paint only save certain file types, like .jpeg, .bmp, .tif,...
I tried it in IE to save a file, chose "All Files" in the drop down menu, but nothing changed in the left side of that dialog window.

Those double icon links are still there...
