Find the "my pics" folder/right click/scroll down to "send to"/ hover the pointer/menu should popup with "desktop (create shortcut)" create shortcut/ open start menu/click and drag shortcut to start menu.

1) Try right-clicking the desktop shortcut on the desktop --see if "pin to start menu" is there.
2) if THAT does not work-- there is a registry hack-- either manual/downloadable as script (your Anti Virus may react to scripts)
from here:
Enable "Pin to Start Menu" for Folders in Windows Vista / XP :: the How-To Geek
