It could get nasty.īut you can’t even edit the existing shortcuts. To be fair, Microsoft don’t really want to make it that easy – imagine if every application you installed plonked itself into the WinX menu. You’re probably thinking, I can just utilize the filesystem and customize the folders according to what you want on the WinX menu by removing and adding shortcuts to programs, yeah? Now, customizing the WinX menu is a little tricky. So, we can now see how this hangs together – to some degree, anyway 🙂 Customizing the WinX menu Rather than write about this, here’s a very quick video showing (hopefully) how the desktop.ini files manipulate this. The control of the display names and the ordering on the WinX menu is to do with the hidden desktop.ini files in each of the GroupX subfolders. Also, note that the shortcut called Apps and Features on the WinX menu appears to actually be called Programs and Features in the filesystem folder? How is this done? We will talk more about this in a little while.Īnother thing to notice is – how do the shortcuts order themselves on the WinX menu? Apps and Features is at the top on the WinX menu but does not appear first in the filesystem entries. This is because you can control which shortcuts appear from these folders by a hash value, and the hashes on these shortcuts have been made invalid.

Now, you will notice in that image that there are a few shortcuts in the Group3 folder that don’t actually appear on the WinX menu – namely the two Command Prompt shortcuts, and the Windows Mobility Centre one. With the WinX menu, the numbering of the Group folders runs from bottom to top – so Group1 folder goes at the bottom of the menu, Group3 at the top. The colour coding on the next image indicates which group refers to which section of the menu.
