Registering an Application Under the Start Menu Category

This is a useful skill to have, even though it is a bit technical. I just used it to add MyMovies back to the main menu after it fell off somehow.

Read below, once you surf through the registry and see where the settings are it is much easier to see what to do. To get the GUID of an existing program, look under the Application section within the Media Center tree, it is the name of the key under there (the names of the apps are inside the key, as "Title"). Just take that GUID and make a key with the same name under start menu, then add Title, AppID, TimeStamp, and Url and you are good to go.
