    Pin to left side of Start Menu Achieved


    1) Browse to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu Places
    2) Rename one of the existing folders there to what folder you want it to be
    3) Right-click > Properties to said folder and set new destination folder address
    4) Go to Settings App > Personalization > Start > Choose Which Folders Appear on Start
    5) Select Original Folder Name (i.e. Pictures) that you corresponded to new location

    Result will be:

    Now if someone can figure out how to add new titles to the settings app screen, we can do this without replacing the original folders... will test with a .exe file and post results shortly.

    *EDIT*

    .exe files do work:

    This will allow for 9 (because settings isn't possible to change) programs/folders to be pinned to the left pane of the start menu. I am working on figuring out how to modify the icons....

    Update


    Ok, so it looks like I have found out where the icons are... I believe. If someone would like to use resource hacker or another program to modify them and see what the results are, I would appreciate it.

    The notepad with the locations is the desktop.ini file in:
