Hi all,

Where abouts on the registry is the user's start menu kept? I'm migrating to
a new hard drive, and although i dont want to just import the old menu,
having some sort of printout of it would be nice to refer back to when I'm
installing the new drive.

Several places, here are a few.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\Advanced

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\MenuOrder

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\StuckRects2

There can also be Group Policies or direct registry modifications.
