Windows Vista allows you to pin your favorite or most frequently used applications to the Start menu. This gives you instant access to applications you frequently use. Since this becomes void in case of folders, we show you how to pin folders to the Start menu.

To do so:

o Click "Start" and type "regedit" in the "Search" box.

o Browse to the "HKEY_ CLASSES ROOT\Folder\shellex\ ContextMenuHandlers" key.

Name:  Pin folder to Start Menu.jpg

o Once there, right-click on the right pane and click on "NewIKey".

o Type in "{a2a9545d-aOc2-42b4¬9708-aOb2badd77c8}'" and press [Enter 1.

o Once done, close the registry editor and restart the computer for changes to take effect.
