start menu items
i first had problem with cdrom being recognized after
upgrade from win98 to win98se, so I uninstalled win98se then reinstalled win98se and this fixed the cdrom problem but now start menu program items (short-cuts) will not work from the start button window pane, but all shortcuts will work from the desktop, ( so all programs that I use have to reside on the desktop to startup or from within my computer folder). Why did all those programs dissassociates them selves from the start menu and its functionality ??? THANKS in advance |

start menu items
No idea at this time but if you don't get a quick answer, then please
try the start menu program items from either an Explorer windows or a My Computer window and see if there is any difference. i.e. if they appear in the Start Menu-Programs, then they should be shortcuts in the folder C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs You may also get there by right-clicking the Start button and selecting "Explore" ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.apps, "kirby" wrote: i first had problem with cdrom being recognized after upgrade from win98 to win98se, so I uninstalled win98se then reinstalled win98se and this fixed the cdrom problem but now start menu program items (short-cuts) will not work from the start button window pane, but all shortcuts will work from the desktop, ( so all programs that I use have to reside on the desktop to startup or from within my computer folder).

start menu items
Thanks Alan;
Your right all programs that are in the Explorer, and My Computer folders do startup, but right clicking the start button has no affect (naadaa). All program on the start menu does reside in folder C:\windows\startmenu\programs and all these programs will startup from there, but not from Start Button menu pane. added info: when uninstalling, reinstalling win98se a message said some program would need reinstalling ??? but the Windows Explorer menu item on the start bar menu does not work either, ( this is not a program that can be reinstalled ????) All help is greatly appreciated. -----Original Message----- No idea at this time but if you don't get a quick answer, then please try the start menu program items from either an Explorer windows or a My Computer window and see if there is any difference. i.e. if they appear in the Start Menu-Programs, then they should be shortcuts in the folder C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs You may also get there by right-clicking the Start button and selecting "Explore" ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.apps, "kirby" wrote: i first had problem with cdrom being recognized after upgrade from win98 to win98se, so I uninstalled win98se then reinstalled win98se and this fixed the cdrom problem but now start menu program items (short-cuts) will not work from the start button window pane, but all shortcuts will work from the desktop, ( so all programs that I use have to reside on the desktop to startup or from within my computer folder).
