"Browse Window"/Places Bar Feature

First let me say that I would much prefer this feature to be added into XP as
well as Vista, as I do not believe that I will be able to afford Vista for
sometime.

The Places Bar that shows up on the left side of the browse window it a good
idea, but it would be much better if each program individually populated it,
or progressivelly removed the default buttons, replacing them with the most
recent , or most common locations the application has interacted with,
although it would be nice if there were also an option to lock one or two of
the default buttons.

Explorer features won't be downgraded to XP, use Windows Explorer.

That's a good Idea, though a bit late for an RTM suggestion. I'm not sure if
Vista even has Places Bar. In common open/save dialogs It uses 'Favorite
Links' folder instead which you can customize by simply adding/deleting
shortcuts.

Actually, in XP you can customize Places Bar. Not per app though, just per
user. You can do this with TweakUI Power Toy or using methods described on
following pages:

Previous Versions info please

I would like to know what is the criteria is for a file or folder being
automatically backed-up and when is it backed-up?

I know you can turn Previous Versions on or off by disabling Automatic
Restore Points for a given volume in system properties, but doesn't that
disable System Restore as well?

I work with large video files frequently and I don't want to waste 500+ megs
of space on shadow copies of those files. Is my only option to create a
seperate partition and turn restore off for that drive?

Also, is the following a bug in RC2? I installed RC2 using Virtual PC 2007
beta. I have two virtual hard drives, but the available disks in System
Protection only show Drive C. The other virtual drive is formatted, has a
drive letter and does contain files. Why doesn't the other virtual drive
show up?
