Default Custom start menu shortcuts?

How do I do them. I'd like one to my D and E drive.

I know I can go through my computer, but it's not efficient enough for me. Diagram:

I don't know of a way that it can be done, however, you can make Computer into a menu.
  1. Right-click a neutral area of the Start menu, and choose Properties.
  2. Click the Customize button on the top-right of this dialog box.
  3. For Computer, choose "Display as a menu".
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click OK.
Now you can mouseover (or just click) on Computer, and the menu will appear giving you instant access to the contents.

Hmm... this is better, not perfect, but I like. If only there was a way to hide optical drives in that menu. Cheers anyway rep+!

Oh, I just noticed that the drives can be Pinned to the Start Menu.

Um, whoa? I didn't know this was possible until now.

Open My computer, left click and hold the drive, and drag it over the start menu. In a second, the start menu should open up, then you can place the drive in the start menu. This works in XP, not sure about 7.

It worked in XP too? hehe I guess I never tried it. But yeah, I just noticed that they can be pinned to the Start Menu, but they cannot be pinned in the same way to the Taskbar. It just pins them to Explorer, and then pins Explorer to the Taskbar at the same time. In other words, pinning one of the drives to the Taskbar means you're pinning Explorer to the Taskbar while simultaneously pinning that drive to its Jump List.

Cool, pinning works better. Not sure why I didn't think of that

I should probably also take down the Dolby Axon link, not sure i'm allowed to show that :/

hehe yeah, I'm the same way: the most obvious stuff always eludes me.

But what's Dolby Axon? hehe j/k I don't know what it is, and it sounds like I'm not supposed to know.
