How do you add new stuff to this part of the start menu?

I think you've got just about everything you can have on that part
Go to Control Panel, Taskbar and Start Menu, Start Menu, Customize, Advanced
From there you can add a few things and customize the look, for example System Administrative Tools, Printers and Faxes, and so on
As for adding anything not listed there, you'd have to edit the registry
I have seen some guides on the internet to do it, but I never saw the need in adding anything else to it, so I can't vouch for whether they work or not and how risky it is
Hope this helpsThanks. Can you please find the link to the TUTORIAL involving editing of the registry?Why don't you just change the properties to Classic Start Menu? It seems a lot better suited to what you want. It CERTAINLY is more logical to me.


By the way, editing the registry can hose your system if you don't do it correctly.1. Start/search, type in start menu, click OK
2. From the LIST, select the user (all users for eveyone), right click
3. Click "open containing folder"
4. Right click start menu folder and click "open"
5. In the program listing, right click, click on new, click shortcut
6. Add a shortcut to the program you want to appear in the start menu.

Sometimes just locating the program and right clicking will have an option "pin to start menu". This will add it to the start menu of the currently open account.Proph: because i want 2 add stuff to that part of the start-menu >!!

GX1_Man: I like the XP start-menu, the classic is just one line.

2k_dummy: That's not what I want to do, or at least I think so. What you say puts my shortcut under "all programs".ChapterNine - I don't know where I found the link now, try googling for it
If I get time I'll have a look myself, if I find it I'll post it here
But as GX1_Man said, editing the registry can seriously damage your system, so be careful and don't change anything you're not sure of, read instructions carefully, and make a backup first

2k_dummy - pinning things to the start menu adds it above the frequently used programs, not where ChapterNine wants to add things to
Then again - ChapterNine, why do you need to add things to that particular section of the start menu?  Just curiousI dont NEED to, but, it would be mighty cool. And, it's also a good place to have things, you find them easy.Yes, it would be handy, I can SEE why you would want to do it
Keep looking for the registry edit, and I'll keep an eye out for you as wellThanks. Tell me if you find something.Will doPost in here if you do find something. I've been wondering how to do this too.What would you like to add, a directory, a file, a shortcut?
This can all be done from start menu properties, hit the advanced button, then the add button and browse to whatever you want to add. Quote
