People who are facing problems while getting this option in "gpedit.msc" or ppl who want to do it using registry, can use following ready-made registry script. Copy it and paste in Notepad, save the file with name "VG.reg" (including quotes), run the file and accept the confirmation:
The above mentioned code will add A:, C:, D:, E:, and F: drives in left-side pane. Replace values of "Place0", "Place1", "Place2", "Place3", "Place4" with your desired path to change them.
PS: If you want to change the look of Open/save dialog box completely, then open "%windir%\System32\Comdlg32.dll" file in Resource Hacker and goto:
Dialog -> 1552 -> 1033
Now you can play with the position and size of all controls, even you can add your own customized controls in the box.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32\PlacesBar]
"Place0"="A:\\"
"Place1"="C:\\"
"Place2"="D:\\"
"Place3"="E:\\"
"Place4"="F:\\"PS: If you want to change the look of Open/save dialog box completely, then open "%windir%\System32\Comdlg32.dll" file in Resource Hacker and goto:
Dialog -> 1552 -> 1033
Now you can play with the position and size of all controls, even you can add your own customized controls in the box.

Expand Windows Explorer tree under Windows Components..And you have selected
Windows Components..
Got it...
The mistake was the entries are not arranged alphabetically
windows explorer remains at the top..
I used to just glance the w section at the bottom
So silly of me...
BTW why the entries are not arranged alphabetically
