    Can I modify/customise, add to the "Most Used list?


    I hunted through the registry looking for any trace. I was worried that if I did a "do not show in this list" it would be gone forever. You are stuck with alphabetical order too. If I could just pin to the top of the menu and order the icons as I pleased, I would be pretty content.

    I have also hunted high and low, through the directory and through folders, but I just cannot find out how the menu is created. It seems to be done 'on-the-fly' in some way. Even still, there must be some basic information that it stores somewhere to do this. In Windows versions up to 7, it was possible to tailor the menus just as one wanted. I could group program folders into category folders, simplifying things enormously. It is a retrograde step not to include that in Windows 10.

    I wonder what would happen if one were to try to install "Classic Shell"? The wonder app that let me keep a Win8 machine up and running until Win10 arrived. Hmmmm.

    Can I modify/customise, add to the "Most Used list?

    In the newest build of Windows 10 (10565) you can now right click on an app or programme pinned to the start menu and a jumplist appears with all recent files! Microsoft are listening... these things just take a while.
