Classic Shell: Forum

Gday

In Classic Shell Settings under the tab "Start Menu Style" and selecting "Classic Style" or "Classic with two columns" the tab "Customize Start Menu" allows me to add custom links to the Start Menu:



Changing to Windows 7 Style the options to add custom links are no longer there. I can add shortcuts to the Start menu but they are no longer a menu:



In "Classic with two columns" Start menu Style I cannot get past a link either. I could work fine with the Classic Style but it does look kinda croiky to me. Anyway I could do a custom link for "Windows 7 style" like this?:



Thanks

- Any folder you add via right click -> Pin to Start Menu (Classic Shell) shows up in the left column's pinned area. To expand folders pinned here, the option "Expand folder shortcuts" on General Behavior tab must be on.
- Any folder you add via Customize Start Menu tab in either style can be added as a Link too. For Windows 7 style, press Insert key to add an item. By default, it will be "Administrative Tools". Change it to "Custom" and then "Display as a link". Double click the icon on the left to bring up the "Edit menu item" dialog where you can specify the path of the Link. (The Command field must be empty for Link to be used).
