I was wondering if anyone could help me out with Start Menu feature in Windows XP.
I want to know how to customize icons on the left side of the start men (the part with frequently used programs).
How can I add and remove programs at my free will from there?
Thank you
Samantha
 
Hi :D
just right click any program u want in the start menu and choose "pin to start menu".
 
thank you for your reply,
my problem is actually more about "unpinning" stuff from the menu. I was hoping that I could find something like in previouse versinos of Windows where going through explorer I could locate a folder in my personal setting that holds all icons for the start menu.
I dont know if the same can be done in XP, if so let me know
thank you again
 
If you want to delete an item from the list just right click on it and remove it from the list. If you want to change the icon then right click on it and go to Properties and change the Icon from there.
 
i think she wants to add program to the list, there was somthing around here.... but i can't find it
 
Open the program, then when it's in the recent open part, drag the icon to the other section.
 
I've found the easiest way to manage the program list is to just use the old style menu. Then you pretty much have complete control over what goes on there.

I should have read a little more carefully. Open Windows explorer> Documents and Settings> *User Name* AND All Users> Start Menu.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
