As we know that Under previous Classic Start Menus for XP Pro and NT, a Shortcut of a Folder on a UNC path((Universal/Uniform Naming Convention, any path starting with \\?\)) would display it's contents as though it was a folder when the mouse hovered over it.
Under the "forced" new Start Menu in Windows 7, a Shortcut to a Folder on a UNC path doesn't display it's contents when hovered upon--you have to click the shortcut/folder. But under 7's Start Menu, shortcuts do not display their contents--they display a file named "target". Now lets see how to solve it so that Like in previous versions, Windows 7 also show the contents of Shortcut folder on Start menu
