I would like to know how to create a folder into my all programs. I want to
add a start folder, like for example, I have a proram that is small that I
have to open my computer, go to C: drive and find it to run it. I would like
to set it up to run from Start, all programs, (whatever) folder.

Thanks, Jamie

Your question is unclear. Perhaps an example or two might
make it clearer.
 
Hello Jamie,

If you need to create a shortcut to a program on the start menu/all programs for every user on the
machine, create it under the following directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs

If you want the shorcut to appear only under your start menu, create it in the following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USERNAME>\Start Menu\Programs

Start Programs is essentially just an image of the shortcuts and folder in
C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Start Menu\Programs

You can put any shortcut there, or add any folder containing shortcuts
there. Similarly you can delete any shortcut or folder that you no longer
want to see there.
 
Just right click on the start button then click open. That will
show you all that is on the start button menu. You can put
a new folder anywhere you want. Once you are done just
x out and the next time you hit start you will find your program
right where you put it.

Please reply to the appropriate post, not any old message in the thread. I'm
not the one who had the problem.
