Default User Start Menu in Vista?

[Mike McCollister]

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,

Mike McCollister

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

Hi Mike,

Find them in the extended menu, then right click the shortcut and use 'pin
to start menu'. This will put them on the main menu.
