Creating offshoot menus in the Start Menu for certain folders...

I know there's a way of doing it for things like My Pictures and My Computer (and there are certain codes for getting things like Printers) but is there any way of getting say, My Downloads as a shootoff folder instead of just a shortcut?

Can you tell me how to make an offshoot folder for My Documents? 'Cause i used to have it set up like that but now it's not, for some reason, and i can't figure out how to make it work.

There's a registry edit for it - I've seen it somewhere, but I don't know where - I've got some XP mags kicking around my room - I'll have a quick skeggy and get back in ten mins or so: it might be in one I've got here. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

[EDIT:]

Gah. It's not in the ones I've got here at Uni, it must be at home - I tried a quick Google but all I got was people trying to get folders onto the menu - that's the easy bit! Getting them to expland on hover is the hard bit... sorry mate!

Oh, and Noble, go into your start menu properties, and tell the My Documents folder to be As Menu, rather than As Link. Problem sorted (hopefully)
