Hi Brad,
I'm not sure that you can add a regular folder.
The folders in the list on the right hand side of the Start menu are special
folders.
It's possible to create a folder with a new Unique ID ,but I don't know how
to add it.
Nor do I know how to increase the number of recent files shown in Recent
Folders.(On the Start Menu)
But ,there is a work-around.
You can use the XP natīve method of creating a toolbar.
Create one using the Recent folder. (Docs and Sets >UserName > Recent )
You can either leave it on the Taskbar or (after unlocking the Taskbar) ,you
can drag it to the top
or sides of your screen.
All entries will be shown. For the special doc you want to show at the top,
add a symbol in front of the name, like !,@,#,$,*, etc.
If you "Sort by name" ,the one with the symbol will always be at the top.
BTW -with this arrangement, all new entries during a session will always be
at the bottom of the list.
(This is true as well if you use a Desktop toolbar)

Subject: [PCBUILD] XP Menu
I have XP Pro Svc. Pk 3.
I'm sure most of you know when you hit the start button the menu pops up
showing a bunch of stuff like control panel, printers and the such. What
I would like to be able to do is with the recent documents menu. Either
a way to expand the list fully or to be able to scroll through the list
or force a recent document to be at the top of the list all the time.
The doc is a text file. I do a lot of photo, and graphic work so the
list gets pretty big and it only shows the top 15 items.
Also is there a way to add a folder on that side of the menu along with
recent, my pictures, my music and so forth?
