Q: I noticed that Windows remembers the last few programs that I opened and places it just above the START button on the Start menu.  Is there a way that I can  add specific programs to menu?

A: Yes and the answer is simpler than you may think.  Here's how:
1. Press the 'Start' button
2. Click '(All) Programs'
3. Find the program you want to add to the Start menu
4. Right Click on the program
5. Select 'Pin to Start Menu' from the list
That's it!

Now when you need to start your favorite program, it will be waiting for you on the Start menu!

If you need to take it off the Start menu, just Right click on it and select 'Unpin from Start menu'
