Yep, works perfectly for me too, though you have to make sure you have the games folder selected for display – right click the start menu, properties, in the ‘customize’ section, click the button next to ‘display as a link’ under Games.

this worked for me, but then i also wanted to add the downloads folder to my start menu and so i follow the steps for this, and it got rid of the my videos folder. i rather have the video folder so i will just follow the above steps again to have the video folder back in my start menu

Wonder how you could replace your user name with Documents, then replace the other Documents with Pictures, then the other Pictures with Music, then the other Music with Videos, to leave in Games.

hi can the info tip changed also? or maybe just make it doesn’t show up when we hover at it? if yes then it’ll be perfect

The only problem is it always point to the ‘Favorites folder for Video’s. There dosnt seem to be a way to set the target to a partition or another drive.

This is absolutely a must if you’re not a big gamer but have a lot of videos. One problem I’ve noticed aside from the info tip though is that if you have it setup as a menu for mouse over it should extend and display what’s in the videos folder but instead it fails to do anything. I find it pretty odd that it does this since it’s a 1/100 chance for it to work as it worked once for me so far but hasn’t worked again. Wonder why Microsoft decided to leave videos out? Why not just have an option at the very least to toggle it on. Hope they fix that in windows 7
