    Shortcuts to EXE on Start menu Win7 64-bit, converts to menu


    Two Win7 computers
    [1] 32-bit
    [2] 64-bit

    On [1] Win7 32bit
    - to add a short cut to Notepad.EXE file
    Start > RClick > New Shortcut
    Browse to "C:Windows\Notepad.EXE" file etc
    ... shortcut runs the EXE file
    ... I run primary shortcuts with WinKey > number 0 to 9

    On [2] Win7 64bit
    - add a short cut to Notepad.EXE file
    Start > RClick > New Shortcut
    Browse to "C:Windows\Notepad.EXE" file etc
    - shortcut on Start is created as a menu ... (I am not clicking on the "New Folder" on context menu)
    - the menu contains Recent Items
    - to run the EXE file I have to "Click" the menu name,
    *** WinKey > number only opens the menus side list


    Shortcuts to EXE on Start menu Win7 64-bit, converts to menu-_start-menu-64-bit.png

    In 32-bit I can also add folders/shortcuts to Start menu at ...
    C:\Users\<Computer name, eg Owner>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    But where would that be in 64-bit ?
    Or am I missing something ?


    Would appreciate any help :)
    ------------------

    Both PC have Classic Start Menu
    - maybe my question should be directed to "Classic Start Menu" ??

    MY ERROR

    I should have looked before burdening this forum ...

    Is a setting in "Classic Start Menu" that I had wrong

    Classic Start Menu > Start > RClick > Settings > General Behavior
    [ ] Enable jump lists .... DISABLED

    Problem solved
