All you have to do is click add folder from the places menu when you are in the folder that you want to add.

Answer 3

AFAIK MintMenu is written in Python. So you should change .py scripts.

It is very easy to change/add items in case of Mint 10. Right click on Menu button, then select 'Preferences', then select tab 'Places'. From there you will be able to add/remove/change elements of MintMenu Places.

Another way to do this is by editing the ~/.gtk-bookmarks file. It is a newline separated list of entries found in the bookmarks folder, where each entry follows the format shown below:

[URI] [entry-name]

It is extremely flexible in that it can handle pretty much any protocol that your system recognizes, including sftp://, smb://, http://, etc.
