When I am in an application which allows me to go get a file, the following dialog box pops up.

Of course at this point I often want to have access my favorites, but they are not listed here.

How can I get a link to my favorites listed here?

If there is no answer, I will have to install filebox extender again like I have been since Windows XP, but I just thought they would have solved this by now in Windows 7.
