This applies to XP as well as Vista, the solution (if there is one) may
also work for both, that's why I decided to crosspost instead of posting a
separate question for each OS.


I took some screenshots to explain clearer what I'm looking for,

For those who prefer text:

Has someone found a way to add new top-level menus to the start menu, the
way you could in Win2000, and still can in XP and Vista if you switch to
the "classic" start menu?

Use google, type in 'pin folder to start menu'.
It really does work (google that is).

I tried the first and it seems to work but its only a link to open the
folder, it does not produce the drop down list like you indicate.
Hang in, others will respond possible, but in the mean time, maybe a
find on google will help you.
