Way to change what's in the 'Other Places' tab?

Hi all, I have a question.

Is there anyway to change what is displayed in the 'Other Places' section of windows explorer tab? I have enclosed a picture below.

Basically I'm looking to keep it with constant shortcuts to my 4 main folders: My Documents, Music, Pictures, and Downloads. They're all in root E:, and I'd like a direct route there instead of having to go through My computer > E: > *. Basically, I think it's the way Vista does it.

Is this possible? Thanks for any input you can offer.

Tweak UI has an option:

However, I can't check as I can't even figure out how to enable the explorer tab....

Thanks for suggestion, but unfortunately this controls a different places bar! This changes the bar down the left hand side of the 'Save' window - when you goto save something in any program you will see this.

I've had a further look around but cant seem to find a way to change this at all, I guess it must be locked in for good

not the answer you're looking for, but if you disable that altogether (use classic folders in folder options) then it'll speed up your browsing a bit
