Short-cuts I would like to have

[Guest Jay]

1. Can I have a "Add/Remove Programs" shortcut on the Start Menu somewhere

near the Control Panel shortcut?

So that I'll do directly into Add/Remove Programs.

 

2. Can I have a short-cut to a folder of my choice in the start menu?

I would like to have a short-cut to a folder that I often use that is inside

the "My Pictures" folder.

 

I have a lot of room on the right hand side of the start menu (with only My

Docs, My Pics, Recent Docs, Ctrl Pan, My Comp and Run there) so I could

definitely add these two short-cuts if at all possible.

 

Thanks

An easy way to do this is right-click on the start menu and select

customize.

Click the advanced tab and in the middle of the screen you should see

Control Panel with 3 options under it.

Choose Display as menu and when you move your mouse over the control panel

on the start menu it will pop out another menu of the control panel items.
