123680 2003-02-25 03:20:00 Hey does anyone know how to add a menu to the start menu in the place where like the the 'My Documents' menu is. It would be kinda handy :) mcatley (662)
123681 2003-02-25 04:51:00 Hi Mark, I am not sure if i read this correctly or not?? Do you mean add a/more Programs to the Start menu? If that is what you mean, you can just go into the Programs list - and right click the program you want to add - then click - Pin to start menu. Also you can customise the Start Menu - by going into Conrol Panel - Taskbar & Start Menu - Start Menu then - Customise. I wondered if you meant "add a Menu" as in, the old style of start menu, which is possible through the start menu customise setting.
HTH :-), but sorry if i misread what you wanted ?:|

123683 2003-02-25 09:33:00 I know what you are getting at but I have not heard of a way of doing what you want. That does not mean it is impossible. mikebartnz (21)
123684 2003-02-25 10:03:00 I have not fiddled with Win XP long enough to know how to do that, but what I do have is a Desktop toolbar on the taskbar which has My Documents as a sub-menu.

Right-click on the taskbar, choose Toolbars and click on Desktop. I have moved mine over to the right next to the volume control button so that just the title of the toolbar is showing. One click on that displays your desktop contents plus a few other folders. Very handy.

Or, I have not tried it but you could probably add other shortcuts to the Desktop toolbar .

123686 2003-02-25 11:44:00 Alright. I think I know what you might be wanting.
You have to be in the classic start menu for this to work.

Firstly navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu"

Now right click and create a folder. Inside this you can put all your necessary shortcuts. Now check your start menu, the folder you created should be where you want it.
