Hmm, have seen that in Windows Mobile. But in normal Win7 you do not have the reg key that would have to be changed.

Where did you find that example?

i created that pic in paint just for better understanding of my question....
any 3rd party apps that would let me achieve that?

Not that I know of any. I think the key that is missing is

​

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\

If you care mostly about the look of the menu, and not the ease of adding/removing "pinned" items, try Classic Shell. See the screenshot.

To manage your grid items you will have to go through the start menu settings and create custom item for each.

I tried Classic shell it changed complete look of start menu. But i only want to change the pinned items view. BTW your avatar is awesome

Will adding that reg key get it to work?
Can u elaborate exactly what changes need to be made to registry.

If you are not a registry expert, you better keep off it. I have not tried adding that key, so I cannot say.
