How can I add the Briefcase feature to XP? It's not on my New menu
and not available when I right-click. I went into Control Panel to
"ADD or Remove Programs" and selected "Add/Remove Windows Components"
and looked under Accessories where I though it'd be, and it wasn't
listed there. Does anyone know how to add the Briefcase option?
Thanks!

Type this command in Start/Run:

rundll32 syncui.dll,Briefcase_Create

Creates Briefcase folder in the Desktop.
 
That worked. I'm still curious why I don't have it as a "New" option.
Any way to add it back in?

From another Windows XP system, export this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bfc\ShellNew

Apply the REG to your computer.
