adding a menu on start bar

Hi,
How can I add a new menu on the XP Classic style start bar? I can only create folders, not a menu.

Any ideas?

 

more info please...

toolman,

What do you want to put on the taskbar?

I want to add a new menu on the start bar. For example. Start >> MY Menu >> my files

 

You can add any folder to the taskbar by creating a new 'toolbar'. Right-click the taskbar, select Toolbars, then New Toolbar, then select the folder you want to turn into a toolbar. If you want several items in the new toolbar... create a folder and add 'shortcuts' to the programs that you want, then create the new toolbar. See attached image.

It's a good idea, but i need it on the actual start bar menu.. like a programs menu.

 

You could use your 'MyDocuments' folder and change the view to 'menu' instead of 'folder'. This can be done by right-clicking the taskbar, select 'properties', select 'StartMenu', then 'customize' then the 'Advanced' tab. Change the MyDocuments folder to 'display as a menu'.

I just realized you said 'classic' menu... you can still use the Documents folder, right-click the taskbar, select 'properties', select 'StartMenu', then the customize button. Then place a check by 'Expand My Documents'. HTH

Thanks.
I made a mistake.. i am using the Windows XP menu, not classic. Is it possible to add a new menu or am i stuck with the existing ones?
