Thanks, Jody.
Since my particular situation might be similar to
others', here's the way it I found I had to apply your
instructions:
launch ms word on startup
In Win Explorer, locate
c:\Documents & Settings\USER\Start Menu\Programs
*locate the program (e.g. Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office 11\Winword)
*R-click and drag that program ("executable")to
that Start Menu\Programs file and click "Copy Here"
