In Windows NT, the way you configure your menu is by dragging shorcuts icons into various magic directories: The magic directories are as follows:
| Windows NT Menu Configuration | |
|---|---|
| Directory | Purpose |
| WINNT\Profiles\administrator\Desktop | Icons for the Administrator’s desktop. |
| WINNT\Profiles\administrator\Send To | Apps the Administrator can send a file to for processing via right click send to. |
| WINNT\Profiles\administrator\Start Menu | Administrator’s main start menu. |
| WINNT\Profiles\administrator\Start Menu\Programs | Administrator’s second tier start menu accessible by clicking Programs. |
| WINNT\Profiles\administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Startup | Programs that will automaically start when you reboot and logon as the Administrator. |
| WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Desktop | Icons that will appear on all users’ desktops. |
| WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Send To | Apps all users can send a file to for processing via right click send to. |
