Administrative tools on Start Menu root
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.
... ... Sorry!
One day I may learn to use the registry as you do; I keep working on it.

Yup, found it too later....I did check at first to see if it was there, but I missed it, so I thought it was a secret revealed.

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 !

Hello limneos.
Unless someone is advanced (promoted) by z3r010, these are the guide lines.
Forum Rules - Vista Forums - Only with Seven in place of Vista.
