I was searching the registry to help someone in the forum, when I found that you can have an Administrative Tools menu on the start menu root!

Did it ever exist in Vista?

Anyways, here's the reg entry:

1. Open Regedit

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

3. Change DWORD Value Start_AdminToolsRoot from 0 to 1

4. Log off and on to see changes

Hello limneos.


Good find; though it's in both Vista and Windows 7....:o...Sorry!

One day I may learn to use the registry as you do; I keep working on it.

No I doubt that too...

btw, speaking of noobity , how do these labels under our names change?

I mean the "SevenPro" etc, cause I have made more posts here and got more rep than in Vista forums , but I still remain "skilled" here, but I'm "power user" in Vistax64 forums...

I want me purple here too !:p

Hello limneos.


Unless someone is advanced (promoted) by z3r010, these are the guide lines.
