Hi don David, & Larry, I was talking to a friend about placing folders on the start menu & I was informed that a person needs to take ownership of certain folders that Windows7 doesn't allow access to in order to do so. If you want to put folders in the start menu accessed by the Windows key, you need to have access to the start menu folder that is in the your name folder located in the User folder of the root of the Windows7 folder, Local Disk C. This is a hidden system folder. In this start menu folder there is a Programs folder that folders can be placed into then, only after folders are placed into this Programs folder will they show up in the All Programs folder that is accessed via the Windows Key. I haven't tried running any shortcut keystrokes this way yet but, after I do I'll let you all know they worked. Take care. Mike

Individual files and programs can be added by locating them in Windows Explorer and pressing Shift + Application keys and hitting Enter on "Pin to Start menu". Holding the Shift key while hitting the Application key adds a few interesting extra items in the menu. *Don Marang* On 10/16/2011 8:48 AM, Mike & Barbara wrote: > Hi Larry, > > Thank you for the items tip but, I can't seem to be able to put a folder > into the start menu.
