>> Hi Orville,
>>
>> Your options are limited in this area. Here are some to consider:
>>
>> You can replace either My Pictures or My Music with a specialized folder
>> of your choice. It will behave as the above folders do as in cascading,
>> etc.
>>
>> Add Folder to Start Menu - Replace MP or MM (Line 2)

>>
>> Or you can add a folder or link under Search and Run. Note: If you
>> running an OEM, it will replace their link.
>>
>> Add a Folder or Link Under the Run Command (Line 180)

>>
>> And/or: Add a folder to My Computer, Desktop and Right Click (Start
>> Button)
>>
>> Add a Folder to My Computer and Desktop (Line 130)
>> Add a Folder to the Start Button - Right Click (Line 124)

>>
>> Another option is adding a special folder to My Documents as a sub.
>>
>> ~~~
>>
>> Use as an example.
>>
>> Go to your My Documents folder. Right click in the right pane and
>> choose,
>> New/Folder. Name it My Downloads. Copy your downloads into this folder.
>>
>> Go to your "My Pictures" folder. In the right pane choose,
>> New/Folder. Name it Images. Copy your images into this folder. Then
>> right click
>> the Start button/Properties/Customize/Advanced and scroll down to My
>> Pictures and choose, "Display as a menu". Apply, ok.
>>
>> Then go to your Start Menu and left click My Pictures, your image
>> folder will be listed first and will also be cascading.
>>
>> Another option: To have "Images" listed on the right side under Help
>> and Support, Search and Run. Save the attached .reg file to your
>> desktop. Open it in Notepad and change the section listed in brackets
>> to your user name, "if" you are using this path. The line in my
>> regedit looks like this:
>>
>> "command"="C:\Documents and Settings\[Change to your user name]\My
>> Documents\My Pictures\Images"
>>
>> The above line is an example, modify that line to your exact path.
>> Once done, save the .reg edit and apply (double click it). Open the
>> Start Menu....
>>
>> ~~~
>>
>> Right click the Start Button/Properties/Customize/Advanced. Scroll down
>> to My Documents and choose List as a Menu.
>>
>> Then go to Windows Explorer\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\My
>> Documents. Highlight My Documents, then choose File/New/Folder. Name it
>> and move any contents there that you want. It will then be added to the
>> Start Menu My Documents and cascading.
>>
>> Another option if you don't use My Documents and want to point it to
>> another folder: Right click the Desktop My Documents icon, go to
>> Properties and change the Target path. That will become your Start Menu
>> My Documents cascading folder.
>>
>> The same can be done with the My Pictures folder.
