How do I...

I have a couple of small cosmetic changes I would like to make to XP

Firstly in the "My Computer" view is it possible to put extra folders in there as well as "My Documents" and "Shared Documents" like my mp3 folder for instance.

Also (and I have seen this done) how do I put sub dividers in my Start Menu to split-up sections in the same folder (ie sort games into genre).

Thanks in advance,
Mike Tasker
 
Please tell me...

I can’t believe no one knows how to do this, somebody should know, please!
 
Okay MikeTasker, Using Windows Explorer, go to, Drive Root/Documents and Settings/All users/Start Menu/Programs. Click on the Programs Folder (in the left pane). In the right pane, right click an empty space and choose New/Folder. Name that Folder "WebSites" for example. Drag all your website creating programs to that new folder (still in the right pane). Close Windows Explorer and go to Start/Programs, you should see your new folder with all your Website Programs in there. A good way to keep things tidy.

Hope that's what you were looking for.
 
It's not that hard

Okay I got the folder on “My Computer” it’s not really that hard. I have exported the registry files needed to insert the folder, if anyone’s interested I’d be happy to post it with instructions on how to change the folder to one of your own (I use d:\My Music).

For the other tweak I want to perform, I actually want to put dividers in a folder list, not sub folders. Just like on this guys Start Menu (BloodLust's Desktop).

Thanks for the help,
Mike Tasker
 
Hmm... Yeah I've seen that before on my friend's computer. Maybe he'll tell me how.
 
now now now, if my computor is on your desktop, just put the folder on your desktop, and drag it into my computor, then delete the folder from your desktop
 
Well it seems, I might be the only one able to drag a fo;der into my computor, BUT let me warn you, once you do get a folder into my computor, it's going to be very difficult to get it out, make sure that's where you want it, because it might be there forever after

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. :(
