Right click on the Taskbar. 2. Click Properties. 3. Click The Start Menu tab. 4. Click the first "Customize..." button. 5. Scroll down in the list until you see "Manufacturer Link"* and check it. * This is from info at <a href="http://malektips.com/xp_taskbar_start_0022.html" rel="nofollow">http://malektips.com/xp_taskbar_start_0022.html</a> on removing a link raphoenix on "How to add an Icon on the right hand pane of XP start menu" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-to-add-an-icon-on-the-right-hand-pane-of-xp-start-menu#post-82205 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:03:02 +0000 raphoenix 82205@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ jorgemartins, You can add the entry back HOWEVER it is going to take a bit of Registry work from what I can tell because your computer Manufacturer added it. Here is an article that might explain the proceedure better than I can. The HP Infocenter Program or Link has to be on your machine somewhere and what you will be doing is re-creating a shortcut to it in the right hand start menu pane. <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/02/18/new-entry-in-right-windows-xp-start-menu/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ghacks.net/2009/02/18/new-entry-in-right-windows-xp-start-menu/</a> I know you will have questions so post back. -------------- I give the HTG Moderator Permission for you to ask for my E-mail Address and send me an E-mail if another member can't come up with a better solution than the link solution which I furnished. -------------- Best Regards, Rick P. jorgemartins on "How to add an Icon on the right hand pane of XP start menu" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-to-add-an-icon-on-the-right-hand-pane-of-xp-start-menu#post-82164 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:12:53 +0000 jorgemartins 82164@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ Sorry, Its's the firts time that I attach a file!

Just a program shortcut: "HP Infocenter". Please see the image. Best regards, Jorge <img src="http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv123/jorgecmartins/XPStartMenu.jpg"> raphoenix on "How to add an Icon on the right hand pane of XP start menu" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-to-add-an-icon-on-the-right-hand-pane-of-xp-start-menu#post-82044 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:12:09 +0000 raphoenix 82044@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ jorgemartins, Under Programs, do have a HP Folder with a bunch of HP shortcuts / programs in it ?? The HP Folder may be under the Program Files branch also. I don't have a Laptop so I'm just (guesing). As I said, I'm running in XP Pure Classic Mode so it is extremely easy for me to see the whole XP operating system layout but not running an OEM HP machine. One of our other members may be running a HP Laptop and will jump-in so keep watching your topic.

I am just curious how can I put it back on place!

What will be the purpose of the icon (What do you want it to do when clicked on) ???? Regards, Rick P.
