    Add custom menu to Start > Programs menu


    How do I add a folder/menu to the "Programs" menu

    In WinXP I could do it with my eyes shut in "C:\Docs and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs"
    When I attempt to do the same in Win7 64bit "C:\Users\All Users\Start Menu" is a link -- "access denied"

    Image is my old XP structure
    Add custom menu to Start > Programs menu-start-programs-1apr2013.png

    I am using Classic Shell Start (Sourceforge) -- just to annoy the younger players

    Will appreciate any help,

    Hi,

    If I read you correctly you can navigate to:

    C:\Users\"Computer name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    Create a new folder in the folder named Programs and it will appear in Start> All programs

    See ive created a folder called "Boo" and my "computer name" is scotty:

    Add custom menu to Start > Programs menu-boo.png

       Note
    AppData maybe hidden, if so go to control panel, icons view and locate Folder Options. Once opened
    click the view tab and click Show hidden files,folders, or drives.


    Hope this helps?

    P.S. Do you like Batman TAS? :)

    Cheers

    Dave
