Start Menu Quuestion
I want to put a program on the first listings on the start menu for easy
access. The program already exists in 'all programs.' How do I copy or move it so that when I click on the start menu it will show up (without going to all programs to find it)? Thanks, Orealius |

This will put the icon at the top part where it will remain for ever until you delete it. If you want, pin it to the taskbar. |

apparently there is a limit to the number of items on the first list. Is
there a way around this? "sticks" wrote in message ...

Right click on the Start Button | Properties | Start Menu | Customize. I "believe" if you decrease the number of recent programs to display, you can get that many more in the Start Menu list. Not sure, you'll have to try it. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Oct. 1, 2004 ~ Sept. 30, 2010 Imperial Beach, CA |

Sure, pin it to the Taskbar, as suggested.

Or to make it even more accessible, "Pin to Taskbar". You might need administrative rights to make those choices appear; I'm not sure about that because I run from an administrator-type account. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

Just out of interest, why are you running as an admin on a daily basis? I don't recall the details, but a couple of years ago when I bought my Win 7 laptop there were some discussions here that convinced me it was much safer than doing the same thing in Win XP. I do have UAC enabled, and pretty much anything that might have significant effect on the system pops up an elevation request. I have antivirus running and also do full scans weekly, and so far I've never had a virus. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

The way your newsreader is doing it, when someone else follows up, it looks like you *said* what you actually only quoted. The problem is that Windows Live Mail 2011 (version 15) has a quoting style that is completely broken. Unfortunately that poses a painful choice to you: either fix every quote manually, or get a real newsreader such as Gravity, Xananews, and Forte Agent (to mention some that come to mind at the moment). OR, if you really want WLM, some say that WLM 14 will serve; see "SC Tom" below. update 2011-04-02: I've seen a newsgroup posting claiming you can un-break WLM 15 by installing and using an Autohotkey script: http://www.dusko-lolic.from.hr/wlmquote/ Thanks for your consideration!

I beg your pardon, but I haven't seen a decent editor in a reader in the last 20 years! And there is a saying that if you want something done right, do it yourself. And that is what I have been doing for the past 25 years. Just use your favorite text editor / word processor and use macros to automate your tasks and life become so easy. And don't bother with any reader's editor As they are not worth the bytes they take up anyway. P.S. This was quoted and edited in MS Word 2000 btw. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows Live Mail 2009 Centrino Core2 Duo T7400 2.16 GHz - 1.5GB - Windows 8 CP |
