Sorting out expanding folderts in the Start .. .. ..

In previous versions all I had to do was put a folder in the Start
menu, and it would expand to show the files.

But when I drag a folder in there now, it first expands to reveal the
files within it, and then appears empty.

I put in the Desktop folder but it will only show one folder.. not the
items on the desktop.

Does anyone know how I can have the folders behave asin previous
versions..



thanks!
