How to Add Items to "Most Used" menu?

Hi,
If you create a folder- call it, say '& My Favourites' - which should put it at the top of the list in the start menu- in
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
-and put whatever shortcuts you want in it, I would think you would get access to those easily.

1. Open explorer (Win key + E)
2. Cut & paste C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu into the address bar
3. Hit 'Return'
4. rt click the pane and create a new folder.
5. Rename it (e.g.) &Myfavourites
(& makes sure it's at the top)
6. Put whatever shortcuts you want into the folder.
7. Close explorer.
8. Open the Win 10 Start Menu and look for &Myfavourites

Someone else may have another suggestion for you. Good luck!
