Hi again ROGELIO, I routinely do all of the steps on the page you linked to whenever I do a new Windows install; this has nothing to do however with whether you can shortcut the My Documents icon but rather that issue is I believe specific to the version of Windows in question.

There are changes you need to make in My Computer that have nothing to do with Classic Menu's. My current system Vista has no Classic configuration. I had to do something in the My computer so I can use those things correctly. If you want to see the configuration here's a link. http://www.jfwlite.com/messages/FS%20Recommended%20Settings%20for%20Windows% 20XP.txt [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon C.
