Short-cuts I would like to have

1. Can I have a "Add/Remove Programs" shortcut on the Start Menu somewhere
near the Control Panel shortcut?
So that I'll do directly into Add/Remove Programs.

2. Can I have a short-cut to a folder of my choice in the start menu?
I would like to have a short-cut to a folder that I often use that is inside
the "My Pictures" folder.

I have a lot of room on the right hand side of the start menu (with only My
Docs, My Pics, Recent Docs, Ctrl Pan, My Comp and Run there) so I could
definitely add these two short-cuts if at all possible.

Thanks

An easy way to do this is right-click on the start menu and select
customize.
Click the advanced tab and in the middle of the screen you should see
Control Panel with 3 options under it.
Choose Display as menu and when you move your mouse over the control panel
on the start menu it will pop out another menu of the control panel items.
