Folder tips (Win2000)
This is a discussion about Folder tips (Win2000) in the Customization Tweaking category; File -> New -> Folder Use the following to create a browsable folder that works in the Start Menu or Toolbar: (Network and Dial-up Connections) String Name. {7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E} (Control Panel) String Name.
File -> New -> Folder
Use the following to create a browsable folder that works in the Start Menu or Toolbar:
(Network and Dial-up Connections)
String Name.{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}
(Control Panel)
String Name.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
I have both of these set as a toolbar on my taskbar. It's easier for me to quickly change settings.

Euh, but I think that those two items are already expandable in the start menu. This can be found in the start menu properties.
What does this tweak add ?

Config:
Dual celeron 400 on BP6
128 Mo SDRAM PC 100
Rage fury 32Mo, SB Live Player
IBM 20Go U66,DVD A103S,Yamaha 4*4*16*: IDE

By default? It wasn't expandable when I installed Win2000. You'd normally have to go through Start Menu -> Settings -> Control Panel (or Network and Dial-up Connections) just to access them. It just makes accessing the Control Panel and Dial-up a little quicker.

I think what he was saying is that if you go into the Start Menu properties, you will find some checkboxes that do exactly what you just described without having to create the folders. Take a look. Hey, I didn't know either.

But you can add much more browseable folders to your startmenu.
Just drag "My Computer" to the Start Menu, now it's expandable!
You can create a shortcut to every folder on your Harddisk in the startmenu, and unlike to NT, W9x, its expandable!
give it a try!

hope that helps

DAN :
Thanks that's what I meant, sorry to be unclear.
The start menu properties in W2K are much more customizable than in W98 and any folder can be drag/drop and expand like Carver says.
