How do I change the type of file from a Shortcut to a File Folder? > How do I change the type of file from a Shortcut to a File Folder? You can't. That's sort of like asking how do you change an orange into a horse. They're two different things and you can't change one into the other. For more help, please explain exactly what you want to accomplish, and why.

Right-click on the start button, choose Properties. Start Menu tab, Customize button. Advanced tab, Start Menu items listing... Scroll down, find "My Documents" and choose "Display as Menu" under it. OK your way out (close all windows by clicking OK/Close.)

SignatureShenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Windows XP - the problem seems to be that the My Documents is a shortcut and not a regular folder and I think that is the problem but I don't know how to fix it. >> How do I change the type of file from a Shortcut to a File Folder? > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Classic start menu or Windows XP start menu? |
