Windows XP doesn't have the "pin" functions of Vista and Windows 7 to
make certain stuff stick where you want it, at least not natively. A
desktop skinning program like Windowblinds or something similar may be
able to help. Just watch the price tag or the included goodies (malware,
etc). Probably the same route to add folders beyond what Windows by
default can do through the Start Menu properties. A much simpler
solution for frequently used files is to place a shortcut to the file
onto your desktop. It can create clutter, and each icon takes memory and
CPU time to draw, but it's included functionality. Hope this steers you
towards what you need.

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?
