View Full Version : Adding Folders to Upper Right XP Start Menu
Wayfarer
January 8th 04, 07:32 PM
I googled to try and find how to add folders of my choice to the
upper right side of the XP Start Menu but I wasn't able to find what
I want. I don't want to do away with any that are already there, but
I'd like to add: My Received Files, Documents and Settings and
Program Files.
Is there any way to do this?
TIA

Hi,
The following might help you:
Add folder to start menu - replace My Pictures or My Music (line 2, right
column)
Add a folder under the run command (line 180, left column)

If you are not willing to give up territory, then no. The only option left
for you from there is to add a folder under the Run command listing. It
won't have the added benifits though as the above does.
Add a Folder Under the Run Command (Line 180)

And/or: Add a folder to My Computer, Desktop and Right Click (Start Button)
Add a Folder to My Computer and Desktop (Line 130)
Add a Folder to the Start Button - Right Click (Line 124)

If I can't do it, I'll figure out some other way to save myself the
onerous task of exercising my clicking finger more times than I'd
like to. :-)
Thanks for your help.
