Start menu defaults

Hi everyone,

At the top of my start menu I have the default programs:

Internet
Internet Explorer

E-mail
Outlook Express

I like having my shortcuts presented like this. How can I add my own
default programs to this list? For example:

Spreadsheet
Microsoft Excel

I can't see any option on the Shortcut Properties dialog to do this. Is
there a way to do this in Windows XP? If not Windows XP, will I be able to
do this in Windows Vista?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, pinning Microsoft Excel to the start
menu does not apply the label Spreadsheet above the name of the program.
 
Right click it and choose "Rename"

Perhaps I'm not being specific enough. I want "Spreadsheet" in bold on one
line and "Microsoft Excel" not in bold on another line, just like the
Internet and E-mail icons. I can't see a way to do that with Rename since it
does not allow HTML.
