Windows 7 Shortcut for Start Button

thats2odd · Aug 21, 2011

New to the forums and hope someone can help me out.
I would like to know if it is possible to create a shortcut for the Start Button. I would like to use RocketDock and auto hide the taskbar and be able to access the start button via RocketDock. Thanks in Advance

Unzip the attached zip file. It contains two files - one called startMenu.vbs. This will open your start menu if you double click it. The second called startMenuShortcut will run the program as a shortcut if you copy the first file into the root directory of your C drive and place the shortcut on your desktop.

Ctrl/esc or the Win key brings up the start menu - would either of these solve your problem?

These options do work however, I am looking to create a click not keyboard shortcut.

Thanks for the feedback - guess you can also modify as required.
