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.

Nobody was talking about adding links to the start menu on the parts you can manually edit. Links to anything can be added there. We were talking about the behavior of the most used programs section, which has nothing to do with dragging stuff onto the start menu.

Wrong. You obviously didn't read the other Posts in the thread very carefully, as usual.

See? I understood that the most used programs section couldn't be manually altered. However, Ruatha and I were trying to present Se5a with options to do very nearly what it was that he wanted to do, even though he couldn't do exactly what he wanted to do. The area of the start menu that can me manually modified is so close to the most used programs section, and both are on the start menu.

See, unlike you were were trying to be helpful and offer suggestsions, rather then just showing off our massive knowledge of Windows operation.

Isn't is possible to turn a .bat file into a windows .exe file? I think I saw a utility that would do that once. If so you could make a batch file that would launch the jar file, turn the .bat file into an .exe and then Windows would probably stick it in the most used programs section.

EDIT: Ah, well maybe not. The utility I was thinking about was an old Dos utility. Doesn't work with Windows executable programs. If you know anything about programing it would probably be pretty easy to write and compile a simple program that calls a shortcut for the RTC jar file. But that might be more trouble then it's worth.
