Customizing Windows 7 Start Menu via script

this is my message:

Hi All

I am trying to do this:

1) Write a script to rename the My Music library to something else (e.g. My Menu), remove the existing folders, include my own folder, and choose General Items for "Customize library for".

2) Write a script to show My Music library (now known as My Menu because of step 1 above) as Menu in Start Menu. That is, script has to do what we manually do - Start Menu -> Properties -> Start Men -> Customize -> My Music - Show as Menu.

Searching the web, I found that task 1 above may be possible using the IShellLibrary Interface object which requires Visual .NET C++ or C# which I am not familiar.

Is it possible to do task 1 by changing some registry entries?
Does not seem possible with Vbscript and powershell.

I cannot find anything on task 2 above. Can somebody advise?

Thank you very much in anticipation

Hello Gui,

Believe it or not I can help you with this. I'm at work right now, but I'll start putting this script together when I get home this evening.

To give you a quick background, your script is mostly just going to make some simple registry edits.

Thank you Nilpo.

Eagerly awaiting your solution!

Okay, i think the 'solution' to this lies in Default user profile. not really what we want -- but guess we have to live with it .... still working on it.

Default user profile won't work for us as it requires the Default user profile to be created before the user first logs in.

we want the user to be able to install the customized start menu after he has logged in -- regardless of the no. of times he has logged in.
