Hello,
I accidently removed a shortcut item from Windows XP's Start Menu list. I added it back, but it is on the very top and not as one of the most frequently used/run programs. How can I "repin" it back to the Start Menu? I tried the instructions on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...startmenu.mspx but I don't have the pin option. I also tried http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs...listenable.reg but that didn't show it either.  And yes, I am not even using Classic Start Menu. Thank you in advance.  -- Phillip Pi Senior Software Quality Assurance Analyst ISP/Symantec Online Services Symantec Corporation www.symantec.com ----------------------------------------------------- Email: (E-Mail Removed)YMC (remove SYMC to reply by e-mail) ----------------------------------------------------- Please do NOT e-mail me for technical support.

You have to unpin it then use it enough to get it promoted up the list.

You can't drag and drop shortcuts into it, as you can to the top "pinned" portion of the start menu, if that is what you are trying to do. Jon |

Ahh, I thought Windows XP would still remember the frequency value unless I told it to clear it. Oh well.
