Need start menu reg tweak

[Kelsenellenelvian]

OK i have read it before but I can't find it now where in the reg do I get my current start menu settings? The start pane where it shows my documents and such.

That way I can have my start menu fully setup from the get go.

Most, if not all, of the start menu options for configuring the RIGHT menu pane are located in this registry key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

To customize the LEFT menu pane (pinned items), look here:

The following is from 'regtweaks.reg', which is what I use for my registry tweaks during an unattended windows install.

I am curious, does anyone know a method to add a custom item to the RIGHT pane?

I have

My Documents

My images

Music

My Computer

NOTICE: I dont have MY Music! "Music" is not a personal folder, just the folder for every user.

Now I also want to have "Videos" but wether I put it in the registry or not it doesnt show in the Startmenu!
