Help for Bookmarks needed

Hi, Is there a way to put a shortcut to your Bookmarks in the Start Menu.
I would like to be able to click START, then have my Bookmarks displayed as
a menu.
Thanks
Angela

Bookmarks in FF are kept in an HTML file. They are /not/ like
IE/Windows Favorites which are each discrete shortcut files on your hard
drive. So, the short answer to your original question is: No.

A longer answer is that you could put a shortcut to the file on your
Start menu, click on that, and it will open in the system-specified
default browser. That hardly seems worth the effort, though. You could
achieve the same thing by setting the file as your default Home Page in
Firefox. Which also seems redundant since Bookmarks are available in FF
in a couple different ways (sidebar, manage bookmarks, and drop-down
menus) already.

If you *must* have this function, one way to do it is periodically
delete all your IE/Win Favorites and then import them to IE from Firefox
(so they'll be current) and have your Favorites folder on your Start menu.

Happy to help. This is one of those times when you run into how you're
used to doing things in one program and discover it's done differently
in another. Usually, for most people, it's just a matter of learning
and getting used to the "new ways."

If at first you do succeed, try not to look astonished.
