Placing Icon Inside Windows 7 Explorer

I feel stupid even asking this question because I know I have done this before, but when you click Save As in almost any application, a version of what I believe to be Explorer pops up offering the directory currently associated with the file you are working with. In that window, there is a bar on the left hand side. I want to place additional directory icons there.  Please see the example jpg.

In the attached example, I want to add the CF directory.  I have clicked numerous places and attempted multiple drag and drops - all to no avail.

For most of you this is probably a "no-brainer", so thanks in advance for taking the time.

That does not get me where I am trying to go.  That process merely saves the CF directory into Favorites.  I probably misspoke when I said the "Save As" screen was a version of Windows Explorer.  I wish I could be more specific but the panel on the left of the Save As screen is not a listing of Favorites.

I have embedded the screen shot.  Very easy indeed.
CF is merely the name of a Folder.

Essentially no one had the correct solution but I may not have asked the question in the right manner.  A kid wondered through my office and showed me the answer.  In the Save As mode, Click Tools.  The drop down menu has as an option to, if you have a directory or file highlighted, Add to "My Places" option.  That's it.  Was looking me in the face, so to speak, all along.

Thanks everyone.  I learned a lot about several other things in the process.

A couple of related posts, for future reference.  It sounds like you are working with an Office application, on Windows XP.
