Classic Shell: Forum

I'm setting up my first Windows 7 PC (migrating from XP). I'd love to use Classic Menu, not to bring back a legacy style menu, but to fix som Win7 menu bugs and "lost features" (e.g., Win7 spontaneously sorts All Programs even though I've turned sorting off, and I miss the cascading apps menu). Classic Menu does this very well, except for the one feature I am requesting.

Feature Resquest: Allow Classic Menu to show Windows 7's libraries, just like Win7 shows them (i.e., Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos)

Thanks for your consideration.

You can already do that.
1. Right click the Start Button -> Settings -> All Settings. Go to Customize Start Menu tab.
2. In the right column, scroll all the way down and drag "Custom Command" to the left column, give it some name by renaming e.g.VideosLibraryItem
3. Double click Custom Item and in the LINK field dropdown, choose Documents, Pictures, Music or Videos (those locations without the 'My' prefix are the Libraries). Click OK.
Repeat these steps 1-3 to add all 4 Libraries.
Tip: In the left column you can drag to position and reorder items as you want. You can also select UserDocumentsItem, UserPicturesItem and press the Del key on the keyboard to remove them and keep only Libraries.
