In Windows XP I can modify the start menu items that will show up for the
default user in "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Start Menu".
However, I can't find this in Vista. Does anyone know how to edit these
items?

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Click the start orb, type 'shell:start menu' and hit <enter>. This will
bring up your user account start menu. The default or all user menu is here:
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

Hi Rick, I was helped by your reply too - thanks. Can you possibly also
explain what the meaning of the "Roaming" is under users. It seems a funny
tern to use. I would have thought all local menus would go under, well,
local. Just wondering. Thanks.
 
roaming means that theoretically you can log into the account from a remote
computer;
thus it is roaming.
 
Rick,

Thanks for the information. However, I have found that this folder that you
mentioned does not have Internet Explorer, Windows Mail and Windows Media
Player in it. Any ideas where that can be changed?

Thanks,

Mike
