Hello Neverhavemoney!

First r click on the prog / app in question and click "Pin To Start Menu".
Second go to "User CP", above then "Edit Options", "Messaging & Notification" change it to what you want.

Keep us informed!

Hi Ben,

For your other question, it should be set by default to get an email for replies to a post you have posted. To check these settings:

1. Go to User CP.
2. Click on Edit Options (left pane).
3. In the second section under the Default Thread Subscription Mode area, select Instant email notification.
4. Click on the Save Changes button at the bottom.


You can also subscribe to a thread that you want emails for replies to it with the Thread Tools options.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: How do i restore apps to the start menu

hey brink,
did that and it works.
thanks Bare Foot Kid for the help. I probebly didnt explain myself enough. I need programs to be put back onto the ALL PROGRAMS section of the start menu. I dont use the other section becuase ccleaner removes any programs from that list and i dont like them there anyways. I dont like any bit of cludder. I have my taskbar auto hide and i also use rocketdock so there are no icons or anything on my screen. I think im kind of OCD. Anyways i need the programs to be in the ALL PROGRAMS part. How do you do this?
Thanks,
Ben
