Start menu items come from two sources
One that is user-specific and one that is shared. The Windows XP
upgrade puts all existing Start menu items into the shared area.
If you delete any items from your account's Start menu, they are
deleted from each user's Start menu.
To permit individualized Start menus, you must click on Start,
select My Computer, and click the Folders toolbar button. Next,
navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start menu.
Right-click on that folder and select Copy.
Now right-click on each user's folder inC:\Documents and
Settings and select Paste. You may be asked to confirm replacing
items in the Start menu folder; answer Yes to all. Finally,
delete C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start menu. Now each
user has a personal copy of the Start menu and can freely delete
unwanted items without affecting others. Installing programs may
add new items to the shared area. To move these to your personal
Start menu, right-drag them to the desktop and choose Move here.
Then right-drag them back to the Start button and again choose
Move here. |
