How can I transfer a shortcut or application icon from the desktopto the start menu
Hello jigo,
Right-click the "start" button and choose "open". The folder that opens contains all the start-menu stuff. You can than drag or copy any link into it that you want. Hope that helps. Rudy Wieser -- Origional message: jigo schreef in berichtnieuws ... I can't find any way to copy an icon for a shortcut or application on the desktop (or the file list) to the Start menu. Does anyone know of one? Thanks JIm |

c:\Documents and Settings\Jigo\Start Menu\Programs
Better yet: %USERPROFILE%\Start Menu That "%USERPROFILE%" will expand to the settings-folder of the current logged-in user. Even on installations where that folder isn't located on the (default) C: drive. :-) (also notice the absense of the "\Programs" part. The OP asked to put something into the "start menu") Regards, Rudy Wieser P.s. OP, you can even create a new folder there (Like that "Programs" folder), into which you can also put shortcuts of your liking. P.p.s. For other environment variables like that "%USERPROFILE% just open a console/command window and type "set" -- Origional message: David H. Lipman schreef in berichtnieuws ...

Using the %USERPROFILE% environmental variable greatly simplifies this as it points to the user's location explicitly. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

Thanks JIm Left-click the item once to highlight it, then right-click and while holding the right-click, drag it down to the "Start" button. Hold it there until the start menu opens, then slowly drag it to the correct location, release and select "Create Shortcut Here". Ben |

Thanks JIm Many programs will temporarily appear on the start menu when you run them. This is one of several Windows MRU (Most Recently Used) functions. Simply click the "start" button, right click the shortcut and click "Pin to Start Menu". You can organize shortcuts on the "All Programs" menu by right clicking the start button and clicking "Open" or "Explore" on the resulting context menu. You can drag or right drag shortcuts to the "Programs" You can also set the task bar to show the Quicklaunch menu and drag shortcuts to it. Note that unless you have reversed your mouse button settings a left drag moves a shortcut (IF source and destination are on the same drive/partition) while a right drag offers a context menu with options to move OR copy the shortcut. The Quicklaunch menu is an additional list of shortcuts that, when enabled, normally appears next to the "start" button. If you have more than a FEW shortcuts on the Quicklaunch menu you might need to click the little "" at the end to see the full list. The task bar also has an option to show a "Links" menu that's a good place to put a small quantity of "favorites" (shortcuts) for web pages. |
