Well I never did get this to work and finally gave up the idea. However in
my exploring I did come across what I think is just as good. In the
properties of the Start button, I found it can be modified more to my
liking. I was able to remove things like My Document, My Pictures and a few
other items I never use. I was able to add Administrative Tools which I
find very helpful. This may help others to modify their Start Menu to their
liking as it did me.

To do this Right Click on the Start Menu --> properties, select the Start
Menu Tab, then click the customize, then the Advanced Tab. Here you can
modify the Start Menu.
