Can You Add Icons to the Start Menu?

I'm running Vista Ultimate. In the Start menu, all items on the right side of
the menu - "Recent Items", "Computer", "Network", etc. - none of them have
icons. It takes longer to quickly find things.

Is there a way to have icons for the list, as XP did?

Thanks,

Steve

You right-click the Task bar, Properties, Start tab and select classic view.

And then you get the small, simplified menu, without all of the items.

You know the old saying. You can't get blood out of a turnip.

I think you're right. I feel like I'm trying to get blood out of a lemon.
