I thought it would be easier to edit the START menu if you could put a one
click short cut right ON the menu itself. The solution is simple. Edit the
START menu by RIGHT clicking the START button, choose EXPLORE. On the right
pane of the EXPLORER view right click in an empty spot, choose NEW, then
SHORTCUT. Put the following in the COMMAND LINE box:

C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,/root,"C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu"

Change the drive letters and directory name over to your setup if you have
windows on a different drive and dir than C:\WINDOWS, also remember to make
sure to put in the quotes in, it lets windows know that all that is between
them is one entry. This will throw you into a rooted explorer view of just
the START menu. It's handy to have it and not have to back out and do it the
old way.

Have fun :

After you finish this, the TWO-click method to edit the start menu is:

Left-click the Start button.

Left-click the "Edit the Start Menu" entry.

Whereas if you don't do this, you have a much more complex method:

RIGHT-click the Start button.

Left-click the "Open" or "Explore" entry, your choice.
