I have XP home. Right clicking on .exe files or shortcuts does not give
the option to Pin to Start Menu. Is this something that has to be
installed?

Never say anything on the phone that
you wouldn't want your mother to hear
at the trial.
 
Gerald,

Type "REGSVR32 /i SHELL32" in the RUN box to get the option back.

Tried it, no joy. Re-booted, still doesn't show. Until this week I did
not know such an option existed so I can live without it. Thanks.

It seemed to run ok but no change in right click on appropriate files.
Guess my machine is stubborn.

BTW, this option will appear only if you use the New Start Menu, not the Classic one :-)
