Default Customize windows xp start menu

Hi,

In xp start menu (not classic), as pictured :



I want to create a custom link to a folder above My Documents, how can this be done? any nice gui interfaces? or will I need to go editing the registry?

Cheers,

Christian

Open up your C: drive (in Windows Explorer) and drill down to "\Documents and Settings\<YOUR ACCOUNT>\Start Menu\" then create a folder (or shortcut) to wat u want!

A shortcut to that is right-click the Start Menu and choose "Open".

Then have a play

That just creates it above the start menu though.
