    How do I change Start Menu folders (Documents, Pictures, Downloads)


    Is there any way to change these links?



    I'd like to change it to have a link to:

    Billy
    My Documents (not a library of documents)
    Documents
    Movies (M:/)
    TV Shows (T:/)

    Thanks,
    Lith.

    Not sure whether this tutorial will show you how to do exactly what you want, but you might want to look at Option 2 in particular.

    Start Menu - Customize

    Nah, that only lets you turn the links on/off - it doesn't let you change them.

    Thanks anyway :)

    Thanks, still not exactly what I'm looking for. Those registry edits do change the locations but I can't see how to edit them to completely change the locations to other locations.

    Classic Shell is a start menu replacement that is infinitely customizable.

    It doesn't change any system files. You can get it from here. Welcome to Classic Shell

    I've got it too. It works great and it's free.
