Is it possible to create a new option in the top right panel of the Start Menu?? I want to create a new link to my downloads folder which is on my machine. Also when saving, I would like to create a right click option on the send to menu for a link to the my downloads folder I create
 
Wesley,

Thanks for the documents, the send to option worked a treat, unfortunately the start menu opton seems to be one I will need to find out how to create. it isn't one of the standard options

Thanks in Advance

John,

I use the Classic Start Menu and have 10 of my folders/shortcuts
on the top-left of my Start Menu.

They show up top-left after pointing to All Programs on the XP
Start Menu. Up where you see Windows Update.

Maybe you can find something in one of these >>>

Click to expand...
Right-click START, left-click Explore. Browse to your downloads folder
and open it. At the top, left-click File, then slide to New, then left
click on Shortcut. A folder icon labeled "Downloads" or whatever you
folder is named will appear in the pane with your downlads. Left-click
and hold on it and drag it to the START button, pause for a moment and
the menu will appear. Drag the folder to the location you desire it to
appear in the START menu and release. Voila!
