How to Add Downloads Folder to the Windows 7 Start Menu

To add the Downloads folder to your Start menu in Windows Vista, the only way was to employ our registry hack that replaced the Games link with Downloads. This isn’t required in Windows 7, where you can show the Downloads folder to the Start menu using the Taskbar and Start menu Properties. This is pretty basic guide, but written specifically to let the users know about this option, a welcome addition to Windows 7, that didn’t exist in Windows Vista and Windows XP.
1. Right-click on an empty area in the Taskbar, and click Properties
2. Click Customize


3. Scroll down until you see the option "Downloads", and choose "Display as a link" or "Display as a menu" button.


Click OK.
