Changing menu items of right-click on the Start button

Answer: Funny you ask that question, because I had all this Winamp garbage in this menu and wanted it out, and I wanted to put a few frequently used programs into it instead. Right-clicking the Start button typically gives you Open, Explore, Search, and Properties options. If you have other stuff there that you never use, or you want to add something, go to the registry and get busy! (A quick reminder on how to get to the registry: Start | Run | Regedit.)

Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and expand it.
Find the Directory folder and expand it.
Right-click on "shell", select New | Key, and give the key a name. In this example, I want to add a favorite freeware program called NoteTab, so I'll call the key "NoteTab."
On the right pane, double-click on the "(Default)" value, and add a title with an ampersand (&) in front of the letter as an accelerator key. In this case, it would be "&NoteTab." Click OK.
Right-click on &NoteTab (NOT Default), and select New | Key.
Call this key "COMMAND." Double-click on COMMAND and enter the full path and program you want to execute into the Value box. In this example, I entered "C:\Program Files\NoteTab Light\notetab.exe".
Close the registry editor. Now, right-click on Start, and the new program is there waiting for your click!
