This is one way that should work, or just did for me. 1) You may have to first Unhide hidden files and folders to get to it. Simply open Explorer or any folderToolsFolder OptionsViewUnhide Hidden files and folders or another way to get there is to hit the Windows Key + "R" and put "control folders in the run box. 2) Your favorites folder is at C:\Documents and Settings\User Name(Pauline or Whichever)\Favorites 3) Right Click Drag it to your desktop--hold down the right mouse and drag it then release it onto the desktop. This will copy it to your desktop. You could also right click "Send to Desktop." 4) Then left click drag it to your start menu. If you want it to have the star icon, just right clickpropertieschange iconselect the star or whatever icon you want. 5) I find it helpful with all my folders to use the ViewArrange Icons by*Show in Groups* view because it confers an alphabetical book index organizational scheme to my folders, and works particularly well when you duplicate or relocate the favorites folder. Additional information you may find helpful in using Favorites: 1) From Kelly's Excellent Site: Favorites Folder Location and Saving Tips for Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_favorites.htm 2) FAVORITES HOME PAGE by Robert Rimes Perry This confers a webpage hyperlink functionality to your favorites, and doesn't impact the default Favorties list at all. I find it very helpful. http://favoriteshomepage.com/screenshot_01.html http://favoriteshomepage.com/ hth, Chad Harris __________________________________________________ ____________________ "pailine" wrote in message ... how can i put a favorites file on my start menu ? thanks Pauline |
