Would I use this same method to add a “Start Task Manager” button to the right-click menu? I tried but it didn’t work… Perhaps I did something wrong… I don’t know. Could I have some help? Please?

Disappearing cursor, Who knows how to FIX it????? This has been around for a couple of years and has not been fixed yet.

Using Vista Primium, Logitech TrackBall mouse.

All the helpful hints from the Internet have failed to fix this problem!!

I have looked for the utility that Chris submitted but am unable to find it.
Was it accepted by this site?
If so, where is it?

I also wish to add notepad to the right-click menu but much prefer to use a utility, that has been proven to work, than fiddle around in the Registry.

I would like advice on how to put the Favorites yellow star on my desktop; I now have Vista and can’t do it, although I was able to put it on the desktop in Windows XP. Thanks.
