    Start Menu Customization


    Hi,
    I want like Windows 7, I see the file shortcuts (not folders) at the top of start menu rather than in its alphabet folder.
    I also want to disable showing alphabets A~Z and just show folders sorted by name.
    Is that possible without using a 3rd party application?
    Thanks.

    :)

    Yes just by creating a shortcut to the folders on the desktop then pin it to the start menu and move it to wherever you like (sorry if I'm wrong MS STILL haven't given me my windows 10 copy yet).

    Hello omidsolo, *Smile

    You could use the free program Classic Shell for that if you like.
