You might discover you like keyboard shortcuts even better than desktop
shortcuts. Try:
Windows Key + E
But WindowsKey+E explores "My Computer"
The "Explore" on the task bar's "Start" button's context menu explores
the user's Start menu at "%homedrive%%homepath%\Start Menu". One place
that lists windows environmental variables (%homepath%, %homedrive%
%systemdirectory% etc) is
http://www.wilsonmar.com/1envvars.htm . The
Windows environmental variables make the command line in your shortcuts
portable so they can be used by other users on your computer or other
computers.
Note that you can organize the shortcuts on your start menu the same way
you can organize other files. The folders produce flyouts on your start
menu instead of a long list that requires scrolling to use.
Note that when you use the "Start" menu shortcuts and folders in the
"All Users\Start Menu" will be added to the available shortcuts.
