PinToStartMenu lets you pin Control Panel items and folders to Windows Start Menu, via your right-click context menu.

There are three different ways using which we can add folders to the start menu and/or even add ‘Pin to start menu item’ to the right-click context menu of folders in Windows. To add Control Panel items to the start menu, you have to create its shortcut on your desktop and then drag and drop it into the start button (orb).

PinToStartMenu makes things easier. It adds the ‘Pin to start menu’ item to the context menu of folders and the Control Panel applets.

Once you have downloaded this freeware portable app, run the app ‘as admin’ and click Install to install the items in the context menu.

To see the “Pin to start menu” item in the context menu of folders, press ‘Shift+right click’.
