On some occasions users of MS Office in wine get annoyed because Ms Office crash or not responding when they're about to save their works, resulting in loss of all the works. And mostly it caused by accidentally click "my network places" location in save dialog.



And it's very annoying because the whole work that is already done is lost because it could not be saved. We may be able to recover it. but still, it's annoying.

When in windows, that won't be a problem. But in wine, because basically we are not running the windows operating system so that the path to my network places leads to nowhere, causing infinite loading when you access it.

The only way (IMHO) to fix the problem is to not display that problematic button at all in order to avoid "accidental click".
