You can drag-and-drop a *folder* to the Start Orb, wait for the menu to open, then place it pinned on the left pane. This allows you to add a shortcut to a folder for easy access from the Start Menu. I assume that this is a shortcut because I don't actually know how it does this.</p> <p>This is the only way that I know to easily create a folder "shortcut" in the Start menu that is not one of the predetermined folders that lives in the right pane. We had someone asking about adding a folder to the right pane and I don't believe there was a good answer. Making a folder shortcut in the left pane instead seems like the best answer to me. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/custom-control-maker#post-28561 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 21:29:48 +0000 frigiliana 28561@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Found this on Life hacker <a href='http://lifehacker.com/395604/create-a-custom-control-panel'>http://lifehacker.com/395604/create-a-custom-control-panel</a> </p>
