hi gang
was just messing around trying to pin favorites to the start menu and found an 
easy way accidently.
1 go to start/control panel/taskbar and start menu
2 when the dialogue box opens tab to the start menu tab
3 make sure the classic menu box is ticked
4 then tab to customise
5 tab down to advanced start menu options
6 use your arrows keys to down arrow to where it says
display favorites and tick this so it now says on.
7 click ok
job is oxo

its col because i can now just press the windows key to get into the start menu 
and in my case pressing the letter a gets me straight into my favourites.
also now everytime i ass a favourite it will then appear in my favourties which 
i access using the route above.

thanks for the help in helping me sort this one, it was really wrecking my head.
cheers
paul h

    Hello Paul,
    Go to your favorites folder, press the application key and arrow down to 
"create shortcut" and enter.  This will place an icon to favorites on your 
desktop.  
    Hope this is of help.

    Maureen.
