zipzap500 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Ok, this has been driving me crazy... For some reason, I can't pin ANY programs to the start menu. I've tried everything you can think of.Before you send me this link (or any kind of this page) I've already have tried this and it does not work...So don't send me this --> http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/a...estartmenu.mspxAnd this is what happens when I check the box that I want firefox to be pinned.When I go back to see it again, It unchecks itself....I also cannot drag and drop any programs there either.Anyone know the problem?? Help would be very appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 There's a property on the Taskbar & Start Menu properties dialog to add links to it somewhere...I'm on a Vista computer at the minute so can't explain where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipzap500 Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I've already tried everything in the Taskbar and Start Menu properties. Every time I change it, It will go back to the default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Can worms of anything sort do this, or registry errors. I'm not sure, best not scan your registry but try for worms or viruses though.Or, I don't think it matters but try getting to the properties from click Properties tab on the desktop. Or you can scan windows for errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
