I think I know what he's trying to say. It's the same thing I want ... the
best of both worlds. I like the two pane start menu with Vista, but wish I
had the options that were present in XP, where you could add new menu
(scrolling) folders. It was nice to have a menu for system utilities,
internet tools, etc., without cluttering up the quicklaunch menu. I'm now
trying to figure out how to add links to my own installed games to the
"Games" menu.

It's been like a treasure hunt trying to locate where all the system folders
are in this OS .... when I first started up, I felt like a damn novice again!

Anybody got any tweaking tips or know of a good and safe tweaking program
for Vista?

Thanks,
Kerry
