Did anyone ever figure out how to make the new link to behave as a menu?

This is fine, but how do I get this folder to behave like My documents, i.e as a menu

I did not realize that there is a “system reserved” section of the start menu, I don’t have a Windows machine to check on. Still, it seems silly that an OS which people say is supposed to be “easy to use” needs these crazy commands to configure.

RE : What is Windows

There are numerous easy ways to edit the start menu in Windows, I hope I’m wrong in assuming you completely neglected those to suit your point.

We are discussing the system reserved section of the start menu here not the whole thing.

What is this?:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}

In KDE you can add items to the start menu by clicking on the start menu and choosing Edit. Why the arcane commands? How are end users supposed to figure this out?

Cool artikel Martin. Ste_95 talks about shortcuts. How to do that?

Me, too.
I created a new key command, and not a string. Try out this solution.

After creating the shortcut, windows notifies me that “windows cannot make a shortcut here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed it in the desktop instead?”.

I never liked this new fangled start menu. I use the old fashioned classic start menu anchored of a hidden task bar on the right hand side of my screen. Works comfortably for me.
