Solve : Customizing the Start Menu (Windows 7)? |
|
Answer» EDIT: (Windows 7) So, I hate libraries with a passion. I don't mind them existing on my computer, but when I click on a link on my start menu (For example, Music) I do not want it opening the music library. I want it to OPEN the current user's music file (same with documents and pictures). I would like to change this. If anyone knows a way other than editing the registry, I am all ears. So far, I've figured out where it is located (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced) but I am unsure as to how to proceed. I know I need to create NEW DWORD values, and I know it should be something like Start_ShowMusic, but I do not know what the exact value should be. Anyone have any ideas?I found and briefly tested a potential solution in VirtualBox. It is a registry file which seems to work but as with any registry edit, be SURE to backup the original keys and use it at your own risk. Link: How To Disable and Remove Libraries from Windows 7 ExplorerThat did disable libraries, but I would still like to add My Music and such to the start menu. Any ideas? (Also, thank you)Sorry about that, I mistakenly tested the user folder instead of My Documents or My Music. Here is another link (this time, I specifically tested the My Music folder).

Millenia from now, men and women will look back on this day and wish they could emulate your miraculousness for even one *censored* day. Fix worked great, thanks!Glad I could help. |
