jpub Wrote:1) Modifiable start menu: What do you mean, Bob? I click Windows, go to All Programs, r-click, and select Open. There I can change anything. The only caveat is that for certain things you have to both modify the All Users version and your user's subset of the Start menu.Okay, I think the two different locations is what got me. It's been months since I tried to do this, mind you, and I was busy dealing with other stuff caused by the new install, so I probably just blew past that in frustration. Yes, I know multiple locations for start menu stuff has been standard since, um, XP or earlier, but in this case I think I was confused by the way Win 7's explorer will show you the contents of a folder without actually opening the tree in the left pane all the way when you open it directly or with a path in the "address" field at the top. I didn't realize it did that for a few days, and it got me all messed up for a while. I should really have put some time aside to go back and try things that I wrote off, once I got more familiar with the OS.
