(1) The menu part may be a different problem; see if you can move
something from the B:\...\DOCUMENTS dir to the C: same directory
name and have it appear when you use a gadget to select a document
or, probably better/easier, see if your mirrored directories are
working when you use the file manager -- the mirrored files should
appear when you're looking at the B: directories, but with their
names underlined.
(2) here's snippets of the relevant (?) info from some geos.ini data
I came across some time back on this group (or maybe it was
comp.sys.geos).
good luck, I know what you're after works on mine....

-----------------------------
The [expressMenuControl] section of the GEOS.INI file
contains settings which control specific options of the
Express Menu
[expressMenuControl]
otherAppSubMenu = <true|false>
If true, the other applications section becomes a submenu
instead of a subgroup within the Express Menu. The default
is false.
floatingKeyboard = <true|false>
True adds an item to the Express menu to enable the
floating keyboard, if the system supports it. The default
is false.
runSubMenu = <true|false>
True places the top level applications in the WORLD
directory and the top level subdirectories in WORLD
directory in a submenu. False places them directly in
Express Menu. The default is true.
runningAppsSubMenu = <true|false>
True makes the list of currently running GEOS applications
a submenu. False, places it directly in Express Menu. The
default is false.
