Re: Vista Advanced Start Menu Configuration (Right Side Only)
I don't know if this will help any or not, but...
The following is a tweak I developed (I think) from things I discovered while searching the web, then adding or changing some things I thought of.
To change the folder that a right side Start Menu link points to, revise the following registry values:
For the “Music” link, edit:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\My Music
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\My Music
Change the default value of “My Music” to the name of the desired folder – e.g.
“L:\Downloads”
For the “Pictures” link, edit:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\My Pictures
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\My Pictures
Changing the default value of “My Pictures” as in the item above.
Re-Boot.
The User, Documents, & Games links may be changed as well.
An added “bonus” to this is that the items inside these new folders act just like any other item in the start menu, i.e. single clicking on an item (shortcut, document, etc.) launches the program; or opens the document in its associated program. So… be careful! For example, a single click on an executable or script file WILL run that file.
Maybe this will help a little though it's not exactly what you wanted.
Good luck, let me know if this is of any use to you.
Thanx,
Randy
