Default Explorer tree structure

The treeview structure in the left pane on Windows Explorer looks as
follows:

Desktop
+ My Documents
+ My Computer
+ My Network Places
Recycle Bin
Folder 1
Folder 2


Folder 1 and 2 are folders on my desktop but not the only ones.

How do I remove these from this tree structure? (I don’t want to delete
the folders)
How do I add others to this structure?

Thanks,
Ads

If the folders are on the Desktop, they will appear in the tree. If
you don't want them in the tree, move them off the Desktop (for
example, into My Documents).

Any folder you create on the Desktop will appear in the tree. The
same is true if you copy or move a folder to the Desktop.

Thanks. I see now that the folders not in the tree are shortcuts to
folders.
