10. Ready….Aim….Drop
The next time you want to add an item--file, folder or application--to your Start menu, don't waste time right-mouse-clicking Start, selecting Open, and then copying the desired item to the Start Menu folder. You can accomplish a Start menu addition with a simple drag and drop.
In any Explorer window (or on the desktop), locate the item you'd like to add to the Start menu. Click and drag the item directly over the Start button (if you see a circle with a line through it on your mouse pointer, you're on the edge of the Start button--move over just a bit), let go, and that item takes its place in the top portion of your Start menu (alphabetically). Click Start to see for yourself!
(Note: If you have IE 4.0 installed, holding an item over the Start button will make the Start menu appear. If you want the item at the top of the menu, just drop it on the Start button. If you have a specific location in mind, drag your mouse pointer up to the desired location [anywhere above Programs], then let go.)
