taskbar and start menu probs

[Ryan1000]

Hi,
I have a problem using the taskbar and start menu properties.
When I try to add a shortcut to the start menu it wont work if the directory has a space in it. Such as, "C:\Program Files" or "C:\My Documents".
Because of the space it will only recognize the root has C:\Program, and will not find the folder. Any ideas why?

Did you try to Drag and Drop using right click and pull it onto the taskbar and when releasing the mouse button then select Create shortcut here? Or did you type it on your own??

It works when I drag and drop, but not when I type in the directory.

Put it in quotes, for example, a shortcut to Outlook Express would look like,

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"

I put it in quotes and it worked. Thank you

try puting it in your (startup folder) which is in your start menu folder.
