You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

That depends on what part od the start menu lists the shortcut.
Go to start/run, and type
"%userprofile%/start menu/Programs"

mark,
i typed in the info but didn't know what to do with it.
the shortcuts are at the top of the start tab, when
you hit the start button.
i used to be able to add and remove stuff all
the time but now it is like everything is "locked"

Check the Windows Registry, there may be security policies that prevent Start Menu changes.
Start\Run\type: "regedit" (w/o quotes) and press Enter
Check in both Local Machine and Current User registry hives.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartMenu\Policy\NoChangeStartMenu\ (check for enabled value, if no value is present, there is no policy in effect)HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartMenu\StartMenu\StartMenuChange\Policy\NoChangeStartMenu\ (check for enabled value, if no value is present, there is no policy in effect)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\"NoChangeStartMenu"=dword: 1 (one enables the policy)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\"NoChangeStartMenu"=dword: 0 (zero disables the policy)

Glad to help, Bonnie.
If you do not write poetry, you might want to look at your text wrap
settings.
Outlook Express | Tools | Options | Send tab | New Sending Format \ Plain
Text Settings button | Automatically wrap text at XX characters, when
sending.
[[Specifies whether Outlook Express should automatically wrap the text of
outgoing messages so that each line is no more than the number of characters
indicated. Some older Internet mail programs do not properly display
messages with lines over 80 characters long. If you clear this check box,
your message might appear to have extra line breaks to recipients whose mail
or news reading program can display only 80 characters per line.
It is suggested that you set your limit to about 72 characters. Most mail
and news reading programs indent quoted text in replies or forwards. Setting
the limit to 72 allows the message to be quoted several times without
causing extra line breaks.]]
