To add items when you right-click on the Start Button: -
Start Regedit -
Go to HKey_Classes_Root / Directory / Shell -
Right-click on Shell and select New / Key -
Type in the name of the key and press the Enter key -
In the Default name that shows in the right hand panel, you can add a title with a & character in front of the letter for a shortcut -
Right-click on the key you just created and create another key under it called command -
For the value of this command, enter the full path and program you want to execute -
Now when you right click on the Start Button, your new program will show up. You do not need to reboot first. -
For example, if you wanted WinWord, you would add that as the first key, the default in the right panel would be &WinWord so when you right click on the Start Button, the W would be underlined and you could just press that key. The command would be something like C:\MSOFFICE\WINWORD\WINWORD.EXE |
