Hi,

Step by step makes it sound more difficult than it is to do on the 
keyboard.  (Adapted from mouse instructions.)

1. Press the Windows Logo key, or ctrl+escape, to highlight start menu.
2.  Enter properties with alt+enter.  You are now in a two-page 
dialogue.
3. From here, shift+tab (and then right-arrow or press ctrl+tab to) 
Start Menu tab
4. Then Tab to and press enter on the Customize button
5. Then Tab about five times to the Tree View (of items checked and not 
checked).
Check the Favorites item.
6.  Tab to and enter on ok and then Close the dialogue(s).
I believe this will add the Favorites folder(s)to the start menu in 
Windows XP, and one can then bring it up with WindowsKe and a.
