Add the "Favorites" shortcut to taskbar

Apologies if there is an answer in the forums , but I could not find.

I have a link to my Windows Explorer "Favorites" folder in my Start Menu but I can not find a way to add it to my taskbar.

I have been told elsewhere that this can not be done, but thought I'd come here for some expert advice from other Windows 7 users and maybe some sort of possible workaround or free utility than can do this.

I would really like just a "one click" option on my taskbar to open the Favorites folder.

Thanks for replying Shawn, but I asked about the Favorites folder in WINDOWS Explorer in Windows 7 , not Favorites in Internet Explorer.

Thanks Shawn. If I could ask just a couple of quick questions about the forum itself as I am using for the first time :
- How do I easily find my way back to a question that I posted previously to see any replies?
- If needed , how can I edit or add to my forum's "System specs" that I set up when I first joined?
