Make your Documents Easier to Reach

Make the My Documents folder easier to access from the Start menu

Especially if you use Microsoft Office, you may have certain documents in your Windows 2000 "My Documents" folder that you need to frequently access. While you can normally open your "My Documents" folder from the Start Menu's "Documents" menu, here is how to save a mouse click and view the contents of that folder directly on the "Start" menu.

1. Right-click on an empty area of your taskbar and choose "Properties".

2. On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, click the "Advanced" tab.

3. Now, under "Start Menu Settings", check "Expand My Documents".

4. Click "Ok" to close the dialog box.

Click "Start", "Documents", then "My Documents", and the contents of that folder are just a click away!
