I have just gotten started with Litestep (and I love it -windows a little more like linux) and I am having trouble making a programs menu. (The kind that you would normally see under the windows start menu). I have been able to make one, but it is incomplete. It seems that I can only adds the start menu links from the start menu that is specific to the current user (e.g. c:\documents settings\mike\start menu), or the start menu links that are available to all users (e.g. c:\documents settings\All Users\start menu). I am running windows 2000. Is there a special module that can combine these 2 to give me a "normal" programs start menu?

Thank you for you're help.

p.s. Forgive me if this inquiry falls under the incorrect forum thread category

What you want to use is the | to combine folders...ahla..
*Popup "programs" !DynamicFolder:"$Programs$|$CommonPrograms$"

I actually tried that. It still didn't work. But I noticed that it did work in several other themes. (I am using the _underscore_ theme by grogg). I really haven't messed around with any of the .rc files outside of those in my "personal" directory. I have also reinstalled the theme several times.
