Harold, your second suggestion worked like a charm. It never occurred to me to go in there to make folders and organize things. It's just as easy as my old method.
Your first suggestion doesn't work because when I R-click on the Start button, Open and Explore are both grayed-out. I'd still love to know what are "the restrictions in effect on this computer" and how I succeeded in creating them. I sometimes have to ease-up on the restrictions I've imposed on IE, but this one doesn't seem to have anything to do with browsing. Thanks for the ideas. --John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B" > John --- I can't tell you what's wrong with your Taskbar Properties > Start > menu window, but another way if you have to configure your Start Menu (which > you probably know) is to R-click your Start button > Explore, and work from > there. > > Or you can go directly to C:\Windows\Start Menu, and work from there.
