I wasn't quite sure how to name this thread...:laugh:

Right, on Vista, when you click the Vista icon in the bottom-left hand corner (default), you get a list of most used programs. On the right side it has stuff like "Documents", "Pictures", "Recent Items", "Computer", "Control Panel".

Is there a way to add more links to that column? I was hoping to add Downloads and Videos tabs to that area.

Yeah thats easy Right click the start icon as I call it still, properties, customise and there is some options in there for you, one of the first things I tweak on a reinstall It doesnt allow custom ones however but I am sure the ones you want are.

I did as you suggested but I can only see options to customize the buttons currently there. I can't see anything that allows me to add new buttons. =/

If you choose Downloads Display as a link it should work I think The videos one is right at the bottom at least in Win7.

Unless you are talking about adding custom buttons to custom directories there.

Nope. Neither are on the list.

I made a little tutorial for you, hope it helps. Click here [tinypic.com] for the tutorial.

Thanks a lot for the video. Unfortunately it doesn't seem as if they appear on Vista. :(

EDIT:

The best I can do is change "Personal Folder" to open as a menu so that the Downloads folder is shown as part of a drop-down box.

No problem

Im sure they will have this in Vista somewhere, seems lack a really silly thing not to include. I will have a look around and see if I can find how to do this.

It's a registry edit I think. I Cant be arsed to do it though.
