Woody Leonhard on the Windows 10 Start Menu ... << Maybe he's not very bright or his W10 is different than mine... >> A skilled Windows programmer Woody is bright enough to have authored and published well over 20 books in the last 23 years on the various versions of the evolving Windows OS starting with Windows 3.1, and on Microsoft Office (some coauthored with Ed Bott) which are definitely best of breed.

I'm sticking with Zabkat's xplorer² with some Total Commander (TC) plug-ins. In customizing your Win10 Start Menu along with your own customizations presumably you've used some of the suggestions Woody has pointed out for customizing it his previous October article and original 2014 article on the subject ...
