Not able to customize folders in start menu

Guest

I am able to create folders in "all the programs" but these folders can not
be opened form the start up menu to show programs inside. If you press the
right mouse button and select explore you can check the folder content. Why
not from the start menu?

When you look for properties of each of these new folders they are tagged as
read only, and if you try to uncheck this setting the computer applies the
setting but when you check again it is read only again.

I have installed windows vista enterprise.

Are the folders empty or do they have something in them?

Read-only probably has nothing to do with it.

Oops, try posting in a Windows Vista newsgroup.

Several options:

You can replace either My Pictures or My Music with a specialized folder of
your choice. It will behave as the above folders do as in cascading, etc.

Or you can add a folder or link under Search and Run. Note: If you running
an OEM, it will replace their link.

Add a Folder or Link Under the Run Command (Line 180)

And/or: Add a folder to My Computer, Desktop and Right Click (Start Button)

Another option is adding a special folder to My Documents as a sub.
