Windows 10 - Recreating Change to Start Menu to allow Recent Files in Tiles

1

Awhile back I was messing around with some of the setting in Windows 10 (mostly registry hacks) to customize everything, and I did something to make the Context Menu on my Taskbar and Start Menu awesome.

The only problem is that now I can't remember exactly what I did and I want to do the same change on my laptop.

In my start menu, the context menu on tiles shows recent files (just like it does when you right click a link in the taskbar: start menu context menu

In the taskbar, the right click has a dark theme: taskbar context menu

I did these changes with just a few changes to the registry - has anyone else seen this / know how I can recreate it?

What changes did you make specifically to your registry? If you can't tell us what you did, we can't explain the behavior, and I realize thats part of your question. You have to understand there are hundreds entries in the registry. You have to narrow it down for us. – Ramhound – 2016-01-09T01:35:49.067

Yea I know but I can't remember what it was :( - I was hoping that somebody else has done a similar hack - it was only one or two entries that I changed so I was hoping that someone else might recognize it right away - – William – 2016-01-09T16:00:45.527

I finally figured it out - these changes are part of the Windows 10 Update 1511 that is being pushed out to everyone - it seems they have built this cool functionality right in!
