I have looked at this as well and I don't believe that there is a way to add a shortcut to that list. I checked Microsofts knowledge base and couldn't find any information. Sorry I couldn't be much help.

It's called the "Places" bar.

How to Customize the Places Bar

Thanks for that link it was very useful, i've managed to make the extra room for another five places in the shortcut bar but none seem to appear when I follow the steps to insert a place in the "User Defined Places" and add my UNC path to the new location nothing appears when I re-start Excel and click file, open. Here's what I did:

Created the new place, "Place 7".

Created the Value data "My Pictures".

Created the the path name to my pictures "D:\My Pictures"

Set the DWord value to "Index" and gave it a value of 0, clicked ok to finish, exit regedt
but nothing appears apart from smaller icons.
