have just "blogged" this: I was having a discussion on another forum, and got fascinated by an observation another member had made. If you use the default desktop, the welcome screen only stayed for 2 or 3 seconds. If you customised the desktop, this deteriroated to, in the worst cases, about...

Not sure if this is the right thread or if it's been asked before (searching on Start Menu brings up almost all the forum posts!) but I wonder if I am missing something here. In XP I could right click the Start Menu and open it's folder and add folders, rename them, delete them, create...
