| | Registry location for Right Click Start Menu I had the registry locations in XP of the "Right Click Start Menu" so I could establish the "Explore" and "Explore All" folder location(s) to which they would default, other than the "Start Menu." I am unable to locate the ROOT location for these entries in Vista, as I wish both to change the default folder and remove a McAfee "Scan" shortcut that has somehow been added to this "Right Click Start Menu" without my interaction. I know how to change the "Explorer Shortcut," but I don't use it much and don't wish to add directive "shortcuts" into my Quick Start area. I use the all of the "Right Click" menus most of the time and don't wish the default to go to the "Start Menu" folder, but the specific folder that I designate. Please advise the ROOT location for these entries. Thank you! |
