I see what you're saying, Mark.  When we right-click on the start-button and choose 
Explore, we are invoking the context-sensitive explorer, with a context of (my user, 
Start Menu).

So then here's a question.  Suppose I (like blkguy) would like to have a right-click 
option on the start menu that opens to the C:\ drive.  I know that I can do "%SYSTEMROOT%\explorer.exe 
/e, C:\" to make that happen.

So the question becomes, how can I *add* an item to the Start Menu right-click menu. 
 If I can add an item, then I can create a new link, something like "Explore C" or 
whatever, that will open C: specifically, rather than Context-starting explorer.exe.

I Saw a *vague* answer to this question, of how to modify the start-button's context 
menu over in Win98 node, but I couldn't find it.  I tried a search on this forum, 
but my search fu seems to come up empty today.

I think it requires a registry edit, but I'm not sure exactly what.

Any pointers?

Cheers, 
-Glenn
