windows 7 - Where is Menu Start Folder Located? (documents, music, etc.)

Question

I need to know WHERE THE MENU START FOLDER IS LOCATED

I mean this menu :

Where is its folder located? (path)

I would like to do some stuff, like add my custom folders to this menu, as normal folders, not collection
(I want to add about 5-6 folders)

But primarily I want to know the PATH

Answer 1

I found a tutorial that details exactly what you want.

You can add it to the Start Menu… using a silly hack to the Libraries feature and renaming the Recorded TV library to a different name. It’s not a perfect solution, but you can access your folder this way and it just seems to belong there.

First things first, head into the Customize Start Menu panel by right-clicking on the start menu and using Properties, then make sure that Recorded TV is set to Display as a link.

Next, right-click on Recorded TV, choose Rename, and then change it.

Now you’ll want to right-click on that button again, and choose Properties, where you’ll see the Library locations in the list… the general idea is that you want to remove Recorded TV, and then add your folder.

Answer 2

You can add or remove items, such as Computer, Control Panel, and Pictures, that appear on the right side of the Start menu. You can also change some items so that they appear as links or menus.

1. Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu.

2. Click the Start Menu tab, and then click Customize.

3. In the Customize Start Menu dialog box, select the options in the list that you want, click OK, and then click OK again.

If you want to add a folder to the right pane of the start menu, I would say it's not designed for this purpose (to show directly your custom folders), and if you still insist you should use a trick lick what the Tiago C has shown or I think a better way that is showing the favorites menu and simply adding the folder you want into it by a simple D & D :

However I suggest you to add folders to this part of the start menu :

That is simply done by a drag and drop and this is a more detailed reference to do this.

And finally you can have access to the programs from a path like this: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu.
