Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to make an entry in the startmenu, near "my computer" where it shows my company name and then a dynamic list of important folders.

start menu > myMenu > myDynamic entry 1
                    > myDynamic entry 2

I'm using Winforms and would like to use ContextMenuStrip for example to generate the dropdown. Is there any way to do this? I have searched for quite some time, but haven't found anything yet.

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
-Johan

If your code is running as part of windows, you'd need to look into shell extensions, written in C++, I expect, to try to do it. I doubt, however, that you can add items there.

Thanks, it looks like shell extensions is the way to go, if it's possible at all. Thanks!
