Thread: Pin Any Folder to the Vista Start Menu the Easy Way

Have you ever wondered why you can pin the application in the Start menu, but you can not pin folders? There, a series of articles around that tell you how to contact them through the complex registry hacks, but it is actually a very simple way to do it.

Pinning Folders to the Start Menu

The first thing you want to do is generate a shortcut to the folder you want to pin to the Start menu, because we are just fixing a shortcut instead of the folder itself. After that just drag this shortcut to start the Orb, but do not leave the mouse button until.

Note that the sample we have created a shortcut on the desktop, but you want to create a shortcut to another location because you can not remove it as soon as you have pinned it.



Start menu will appear, and you desire to after that use the mouse (with the button still held) to move in the shortcut up where the pinned are usually located (see above, gray line) then you can release the button.



At this point you should have a pinned shortcut to that folder on your start me



This is very convenient to use a technique for capturing and uploading videos folder in the Start menu, because for some strange reason Microsoft gives you pictures, music, games and even but not everything else.
