CUSTOMIZE START MENU

Some Good Tips: 1) Clear the Cached Run Commands Do you have a lot of items in the run command history on Start Menu? This tweak will allow you to clear the most-recently-used (MRU) list. → User key:- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\ RunMRU] Delete the value corresponding to the command you want to remove, or remove the key to clear the list completely You can also make ur own key there.

2) Enable or disableStart Menu Scrolling When there are more items on the Start Menu than can fit on the screen, Windows can either create a second column of items or it can create a scrolling menu. This tweak controls that functionality. →Navigate to[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\ Advanced] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\ Advanced] Create a new String value, or modify the existing value, called "StartMenuScrollPrograms" and set its value to yes or no.Exit your registry; you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.
