THis might be silly, but need help getting the Start Menu to do what I

[Thrush]

Hi guys - friend reccommended this place

I re-installed XP (Home, SP2) again today (bi yearly strip down and reinstall) and one thing is currently bugging me!

My set up is I have a main C: drive with the OS on it, programme files/software, etc, and a second slave drive which contains my pics, music, video etc - so I don't lose it when I format or whatever.

So, in the Start menu you have the listings for My Docs, My Pics, My Music etc. Course, the defualt My Music folder is empty (All music on the slave drive)

Somehow, last time I managed to get the MY MUSIC folder in the Start menu to have a pop out sub folder with SHORTCUT TO MY MUSIC in it, which when clicked took me to the MY MUSIC folder on my SLAVE drive...

I can't get it to do it again! I am sure all I did was put a shortcut in the C: My Music folder, but now it doens't have the pop out sub folder and I want it back lol......

Any idea's?

If not, can I get the Start menu MY MUSIC to point to a different file path, namely the slave drive folder?

Thanks, looking forward to replies!

All you gotta do is change the location in the properties of that folder.

First, open properties of My Documents (Make sure its My Documents)

Second, Change it to the location of the main My Documents on the other drive (Should contain, My Pictures, and My Music there)

Then say OK to that, and it should change the shortcut locations for the rest of the icons on the start menu for you.

Hope this helps (and welcome to the forum, good choice )
