Windows 10: Windows 10 start menu per user short cuts customisation

Hi All


Last I used was Windows XP pro. where I could customize the start menu for each user. Is that possible in Windows 10 home?

For example I would like to remove things like the Windows Admin Tools folder from my son's start menu profile but still have it on my profile.

I looked under computer management but couldn't find it. and the help file is no help.







Thank you.

Start Menu Customisation

Download StartIsBack and you will pretty much have the Windows 7 desktop back .... minus the aero effect. StartIsBack is a reincarnation of the Windows 7 start menu.

I just whish they would bring back being able to customize the login screen instead of having to use those fugly solid colors.

 

Start Menu Customisation


I like having a decent list of most used apps on the start launch list in W7. I would change to [not] 'large icons' in the start customisation options, then set the start menu size to (say) 20 apps.
Shaun posed a great solution to restoring the 9879-type 'resizable' start menu on 9926 (thanks!), but tinkering with the registry entries that controlled the icon sizes in W7 doesn't seem to work in W10TP.
However, there is clearly some mechanism that configures the 'all programs' list to use small icons
Anyone have any suggestions to change the main start list to small(er) icons?

I suppose what i'm wanting is the W7 desktop back - and that's probably not far from the truth; for a desktop user, the W7 Aero presentation was smart, nice to look at, and more productive because it had better delineation between content and functional zones that the Playschool (is this to become the new name for it?) UI doesn't seem to have (for me).

Retain the options to allow the users the options to configure the UI presentation the way they are happiest with, and perhaps then do the analytics to see what everyone chooses?

 

User Name is cut short in File/Windows explorer

Of course there is. Simply click the Skip this step in the user creation dialog and create a local account in next dialog:
