ACCESSORIES GROUP
I can't figure this out. My father called long distance
with a problem. He used to go START PROGRAMS ACCESSORIES and then to wherever he needed to go. Now he claims that when he goes to START and PROGRAMS, there's no ACCESSORIES category as there always was, and the first one is Adobe. I thought maybe he needed to move up, but he claims there is no arrow because there are no additional categories. Hope this makes sense and someone can help. Thanks. -Steven |

ACCESSORIES GROUP
Hi Steven,
The Start - Accessories group are nothing more than shortcuts. If you have Win98 also, right click on the Start Button and select Explore. Navigate to Start menu and expand the Programs group. Right click on Accessories and click Copy. Send the copied folder to your father by email. Have him right click on the Start Button and select Explore. Navigate to Start menu and expand it. Now drag the folder you sent him to the Programs group. When he goes into the Start button he may finds some bad shortcuts that do not apply to his system. He can then right click on them and delete them one by one. -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet News: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=171164 "STEVEN" wrote I can't figure this out.

ACCESSORIES GROUP
Hey there Bert-
First, thanks for the quick reply. I have Windows ME, so I have to come up with a way for him to do it himself. He was playing...went to his CONTROL PANEL, then the WINDOWS SETUP TAB, and although ACCESSORIES WAS ALREADY CHECKED, he uncheck and checked it again, and then supposedly got an ACCESSORIES label at the bottom of his programs list, but it's only for communications...cable, etc. Nothing he had before in there.

ACCESSORIES GROUP
I doubt there's much difference between the two.
I would be glad to email you a copy of one from Win98se if you want. -- Regards, Bert Kinney [MS-MVP DTS] http://dts-l.org/ How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet News: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=171164 You wrote Hey there Bert- First, thanks for the quick reply.
