    Insert Separator into Open Shell Start Menu?


    Windows 10 20H2

    I'm not sure how to check the version number of Open Shell that's running on my system. In the help file it says "Version 4.3.1 – general release."

    I'd like to insert a separator line into the Open Shell Start Menu.

    I was warned against posting in the Open Shell forum by dalchina's post from back in January, 2019, so I'm hoping someone here knows the trick to doing this.

    Thanks, dalchina, for pointing me to that option for customizing the Start Menu.

    I'm having trouble making that work for me,

    On my Start Menu, immediately above the separator above "Programs," I have have 18 shortcuts consisting two groups: one group consists of programs I run often, and the other group consists group of files open often.

    What I'm trying to do is insert a separator in between these two groups of shortcuts like this:

    File 1
    File 2
    File 3
    etc.......
    ---------------------------- <----Proposed New Separator
    Program 1
    Program 2
    Program 3
    etc.....
    ------------------------
    Programs

    My problem is that the Open Shell "Customize Start Menu" interface, doesn't show anything above "Programs," other than that mysterious item, "Column Padding."
