Is it possible to add items to the 'Folders' Explorer Bar?

Currently, mine has:
Desktop
|-My Documents
|-My Computer
|-My Network Places
|-Recycle Bin
|-Internet Explorer

I'd like to add a folder for a couple of specific directories.

I'm able to add special folders to the Desktop and My Computer, but they don't appear in the Folders Explorer Bar. Is this possible?
 
DSP,

The desktop folders can be seen in explorer, but it will appear under the user profile. If you sign on as administrator, you path to the folder would be:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop
Of course substitue administrator for the account name you sign on with.

The things under My computer, will simply show under the My computer folder within explorer.

You can expand what is under it by clicking the + sign next to the icon for my computer.
Then you wil see an icon for your C drive. Click the + sign next to it, and you will see all that is under the C drive, and so on and so on. Good luck, and Happy Computing
