'Pin to Start Menu' option is missing
After reformatting I'm missing the right click Start Menu option of Pin to
Start Menu. Also, the Start Menu used to show at the bottom about 7 of my most recently used programs and now all the shows on the "Classsic Start Menu" are the Programs that I personally added, and the default options of "Programs, Search, Run, Settings, Docs, etc. |

Sounds like you're using the Classic Start Menu. You cannot pin or unpin
items using the Classic Start menu. Switch to XP's Start Menu. Right click the Start button | Properties | Start Menu tab | Select: Start Menu | Apply | OK Or if you want to do similar in Classic Start Menu... Right click Start button | Explore All Users | Add the shortcuts here... C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu They'll appear above Programs. -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

Oh my God!!! All this time I thought I used to use the Classic Start and
that's what I was trying to customize now. For the past week, I've been researching this problem. I tried switching it to Start Menu and it worked!! Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!
