    Customize start menu option

    I would like to change the game menu that appears on the right side of the Start menu, and replace it with a link to my file download.

    I guess we can do all this through Windows Registry, but don't know how to do that.

    Please help me!

    Could you be more specific, what do you mean by "the game menu that appears on the right side of the Start menu" ?

    By that I mean I would like to have a link to C:\Users\MonUsername\Downloads instead of the link to "Games" which brings in useless games.

    Copy the below information on the notepad and save it as download.reg.
    Go to registry editor; on File menu, click to import this information in the registry.

    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesCLSID (ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52)] 
    @ = "Downloads" 
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesCLSID (ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52) DefaultIcon] 
    @ = "imageres.dll, -184" 
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesCLSID (ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52) InprocServer32] 
    @ = "shell32.dll" 
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesCLSID (ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52) shellopencommand] 
    @ = "explorer.exe shell: Downloads" 
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerCLSID (ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83B1-96B02CFE0D52)] 
    @ = "Downloads"
    To return to default settings:

    Code:
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesCLSID (ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52)] 
    
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerCLSID (ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83B1-96B02CFE0D52)]
