Pin to start menu
Hello,
If I pin a shortcut to the startmenu, where does XP store this information? Is there a folder oder a registry key where these shortcuts are stored? The problem is, all the shortcuts I pinned to the start menu have disappeared, if i knew where windows keeps this information, I could check some older backups and restore these entries manually, the only thing is, I don't remember all of the shortcuts I pinned to the start menu during the last years, that's why I'm asking where to find them. Thanks for helping. JJ |

Pin to start menu
MULTIPOSTED!!!! in microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support and
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general If I pin a shortcut to the startmenu, where does XP store this information? With a shortcut in this folder... C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu The above folder would be the easiest. Also here... HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\ Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu2\Programs Value Name: Order HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\ Explorer\StartPage Value Name: Favorites Value Name: FavoritesResolve All of those are REG_BINARY values and hard to read them. -- Hope this helps.
