Excellent article. As a comment to brian: when adding the DWORD to the registry you forgot to switch it to Decimal in the dialog, it's set to Hex by default; 11 hex == 17 dec :)

If the path to places.dll contains spaces (as most will, by default), don't forget to put it in quotes:

regsvr32 "C:\\Documents and Settings\\username\\Local Settings\\Temp\\Places\\Places.dll"

Brian, the numbers are listed in this article as decimal, but the default mode when adding a new DWORD is hexadecimal (thus, 11 hex worked for you as "My Computer" because that is 17 decimal)

i was using the costmizing places bar page (http://www.winnetmag.com/Article/ArticleID/21539/21539.html) and trying it out but when i tryed to get My Computer to come up the table you list on the page (http://www.winnetmag.com/Files/21539/Table_01.html) didnt give me the right id. so i tryed differnt ids till i found out that 11 worked on my computer
i run windows 2000
i am just trying to inform you in hopes that one can be helpful
one gets nowhere when everyone is to them slef about what they find
