Hide My Music in new Start menu.
This tweak can control the display of My Music in new Start menu.
Level: Recommended For Novice Users
Description:
Generally, my music folder is found inside my documents folder, and can be used to store songs. The my music folder may have the options to play all of your music files (mp3, wma etc.) successively or access playlists of shared folders. Windows creates the my music folder for all user accounts created on your computer. To avoid the display of my music in new start menu, apply this registry setting. For this, go to start > run, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a dword value start_showmymusic, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value to 0 which can hide my music item from the new start menu. However, if you want to show the item back, change the value data to 1 or delete the value. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff. Note: this setting will have no effect if you use the classic start menu display in windows. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
