Start Menu - Pin or Unpin a Folder, Drive, and Library

Hi All

Is it possible to have a pinned folder in the start menu act like a menu with an arrow to whats inside the folder like notepad/media player etc.

Thankyou

Danny

Hello Danny,

Not that I know of without using a 3rd party program like the free Start Menu 7 or Classic Shell.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks Shawn thought it was a long shot

You're welcome Danny.

Hello Spikens, and welcome to Seven Forums.

The tutorial is just to be able to add the "Pin to Start Menu" and "Unpin from Start Menu" option to the right click context menu of all folders to be able to pin the folder using that option as well. That's all. :)

LOL, no problem mate. :)

Spikens,

Yes, it will work just as well in Windows 7 as Vista. They do the same thing at the end, but the only difference it this: :)

REG files from here adds this:
(part in red was added to make it easier to know what it was for versus below)
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\Pin to Start Menu]
@="{a2a9545d-a0c2-42b4-9708-a0b2badd77c8}"

Manually there adds this:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{a2a9545d-a0c2-42b4-9708-a0b2badd77c8}]
