customize start menu
How do you do it? With win 98se it was easy in settings/advanced.
I see that I can shift to that view, but is there a way in the xp view? Thanks- still feeling my way. GA -- My address is spoofed, so do not reply directly. |

If you want to change the 'Start' name and logo then in any programming language you would need to find the handle of the window and create your own rectangles onto that handle as its parent. - If you don't program then better look for an application that already does it. |

GA What I should have asked is how to modify the all programs section, which was done through start/settings/..advanced etc. in win 98se. What I intend is to group the items in folders (ie Utilities, Multimedia...). I could do it in explorer (All users...) but is there a method like in 98se? I am not sure if I would cause a problem if I do it in explorer. Sorry for the confusion. GA -- My address is spoofed, so do not reply directly. |
