Default Start Menu and PBW

XP pro - how do I get a PBW icon into the most used list on the start menu?
I have got the launcher there (it did it automaticly)
but it doesent seem to want to put a java progy there.

I think it might be limited to .exe files. Just use the quick launch bar.

Can't you drag it and drop it above the delimeter line?

Altough I think it's easier to start it from the quicklaunch bar as Fyron stated.

Yes, I tried it and you can drag and drop a shortcut above the line. It's not in the actual "most used" section, but it's right there on the start menu. To make the shortcut you just right click on the web page in explorer and select the shortcut option. It will save it to the desktop and you can drag it from there.

Isn't RTC an executable jar? I am not positive, but I believe that the most used programs part doesn't like java programs...

No, not the normal start menu, the recently used programs section of the start menu. You can not drag stuff onto that.

I understand that Fyron. That was already discussed.
