How do I pin a Word Doc shortcut to the Start Menu? (I did this on my XP
machine, and I can't remember how I did it.)

I've already pinned a shortcut to the Word.exe file, but I want to be able
to open directly to a particular document.

Thanks.

I don't think you can pin a DOCUMENT shortcut to the Start menu. You can
make a shortcut to the document on your desktop...
 
I'm looking at a working shortcut to a document on the Start Menu on my
notebook, so I know it can be done. I just don't remember how I did it! (In
fact, I have a shortcut to an Excel doc there too...)

Just place a shortcut to the document in your startup folder. The doc will
open using the default program for .doc type files - usually Microsoft
Office (or Open Office if you have that installed).
