How to: Add the Windows 95 Control Panel to the Start menu as a cascading menu.
Solution:
Create a new folder on the 'Start' menu with Windows Explorer, giving it the following name (including the period, curly braces, and hyphens):
Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
NOTE: Dragging the Control Panel object to the 'Start' menu creates a shortcut to the 'Control Panel' folder. It does NOT create the cascading menu created by the following procedure.
1) Position the mouse pointer over the Windows 95 'Start' button on the Taskbar.
'Start' button
2) Right-click to activate the 'Start' button pop-up menu (NOT the same as the 'Start' menu).

3) Select 'Explore'. (The 'Exploring - Start Menu' window appears with the current directory set to '\WINDOWS\Start' menu.)
4) Right-click in the right-hand pane of the Explorer window.
5) Select 'New' and select 'Folder'. (A new folder appears.)
6) Type the following name for the new folder on a SINGLE line, including the period, curly braces, and hyphens:
Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
7) Press ENTER.
8) Click the mouse outside the new folder to save the new name.
9) (Optional) To test the new cascading menu:
a) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
b) Select 'Control Panel'. (A cascaded 'Control Panel' submenu appears.)
c) Select a 'Control Panel' utility or applet from the submenu.
