You can only add one folder to the Start Menu under the Run Command,
generally reserved for OEM manufacturers.

Add Folder to Start Menu - Replace MP or MM (Line 2)
This will replace My Musice or My Pictures with a folder of your choosing.

Add a Folder Under the Run Command (Line 180)

I believe I can do the same thing by saving my file into the music folder and
then renaming "My Music" to what I want it called.

I was hoping there was a way to add a file without using up the existing
folders.

Thanks for the help.

BTW, another one is the "Set Program Access and Defaults". This can be
replaced.

Thanks William!

Once I understood how to use the link on kelly's-corner it was very easy.

I made a new folder for "My Pictures" and then added it below the run
button. I then renamed the "My Pictures" folder and pasted in my folders.
This allowed me to be able use my new folder as a menu and not just a link.

Thanks Again
Dustin
