Guest brianto Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Don't know what I've done but would appreciate some help. On the START menu I seem to have deleted the shortcut for My Pictures. Any way of getting this back on as I use it quite a lot.? Thanks
Guest brianto Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 RE: My Pictures shortcut Forgot to add that My Pictures is ticked in the properties of the start menu.

Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Re: My Pictures shortcut Check if the "My Pictures" folder is pointing to a valid location. Click Start, Run and type: shell:My Pictures Press {ENTER} If the My Pictures shell folder data is correctly set, the folder should now open. If it doesn't, then you'll have to fix the shell folder path for My Pictures manually in the registry. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "brianto" <brianto@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:53E5D2F5-2840-48BB-B540-C2BE1331262F@microsoft.com...

Guest brianto Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Re: My Pictures shortcut I use the XP start menu. I used the run command with shell:my pictures and the folder opened. I would just like it on my start menu if this is now possible. Thanks for your replies "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: > Check if the "My Pictures" folder is pointing to a valid location.

Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: My Pictures shortcut Note that if you're using the Classic Start menu, the "My Pictures" link will appear under the "Documents" sub-menu. If not, let me know if you've relocated the "My Pictures" folder to a network share, or to an external drive. IIRC, "My Pictures" link in the Start menu disappears if the folder was relocated earlier and inaccessible when the user logs on. See if restarting the shell (Open Task Manager - End "Explorer.exe" and create new "Explorer.exe" process) helps. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "brianto" <brianto@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:EA0BCE5C-40C7-4BB9-BFD1-3FC823D62FE6@microsoft.com...
