In print, it's sometimes difficult to glean the intent of a post. I meant no disrespect
for you, or your posted solution. It seemed to me that since the original poster wanted
to put a folder with its contents cascading on a sub-menu on the left side of the Start
menu, that using the Classic Start menu and putting the folder above Programs would give
the desired results. I understand that my opinion about the Windows XP style Start Menu
is MY opinion. I am a power user, and find the Windows XP style Start menu not as
customizable as the Classic Start menu. The design also allows for too much wasted space,
sometimes cutting off items on menus, or cutting off sub-menus. I'd rather use the
Classic Start menu. We might have a difference of opinion, but that does not mean that I
intended to offend or disrespect you in any way.

I read your post. The only workaround you offered was to use the Classic Start Menu. By
the OP's mention of "(on the left side)", I assumed he was using the XP style Start Menu
and offered workarounds that would allow him to keep it. The information I offered was
supplemental, not contradictory, to that which you offered.
Your opinion of the XP style Start Menu is just that -- your opinion. As to you need to
impose your opinion on your clients, here's a link you might find useful

As I previously posted, the work around would be to use the option for the Classic Start
menu. You would then be able to add the cascading folder above Programs, which would make
for quicker access.

Can't do it on the left hand side...
You can add it under 'All Programs'
Or take over My Music or My Pictures link:

Hi,
I've put a folder in the Start Menu (on the left side) called "My
Favorites" but when I press on "Windows button" and then "M" or click
on Start and then on that folder, it opens the folder instead of
expand it like the All Programs menu.
I would find this useful as I want to group the most used applications
by type without seeing all the applications like in the "All
Programs".
Can you tell me how to tweak my system to do so?
Thanks,
Mike.
