Hi everyone.

I'm hoping someone could help me with this. I want to add a few link
to folders on my computers to the right side of the start menu (the sid
with Pictures, Music, Games, etc).

Is this possible? And if so, how can I do it?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi,

There's no user-based method for doing this. You would have to do it
programatically as it would require registry writes as well as knowledge of
what routines in system library files are used.

I believe Microsoft has restricted the ability to add links to the
right side of the start menu, with a few exceptions. However, see the
article below concerning adding items to the left side.
