How can we further IMPROVE the efficiency of the Windows left-side desktop pane?

That example snapped above just now from my desktop screen contains:
1. The "start run" area, which has scores of "commands" set up in the "App
Paths" section of the Windows registry (works on all versions of Windows
including XP).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
For example: Start > Run > hosts [that edits the hosts file]
Start > Run > reboot [that reboots the system]
Start > Run > phone x [that searches the rolodex for "x"]
etc.

2. The "Quick Access" area, which, I think, only works on Win10, which
contains the ten most-frequently used hierarchies on Windows, in two
sections.

3. The "Taskbar" area, which works on all Windows versions, I think, which
contains the score of programs most often used, in a specific order.

4. The native Windows 10 cascade menu (aka the Windows XP start menu, often
erroneously called "Classic Start Menu" based on a completely unnecessary
program suite of that name).

Note that the hierarchy of the cascade menu, is _always_ the same as the
hierarchy of the installer archive, and the installed programs archive, and
even the Windows heterodox (right side) start menu, for consistency not
only across menus, but across machines over the years (i.e., the Windows 10
hierarchy is the same as the Win7 hierarchy which is the same as the WinXP
hierarchy).

5. Folders and commands that are less often used, so they can be one level
deep on the left-side pane, such as network kill switches, various reboot
commands, locations of screenshots, downloads, etc.

6. Hardware section, which contains the stuff that Microsoft puts here,
such as the time and date and other hardware icons.

Given that example and explanation above...

Arlen,

A small addition, and a world of difference.

In other words: why have you (again!) dropped your crap into a newsgroup
which isn't *at all* related to the problem ? Just because you can ?
Are you really *that* daft ?

As for your problem: Why don't *you* start with posting some ideas, instead
of (again) expecting others to do all the work ? That way you would
actually make that "we" in the above true, instead of actually being an
"everyone, but me" thing. :-(

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

You prove to be an _idiot_ Rudy Wieser, _every_ time you post!

You didn't comprehend that I did provide _multiple_ solutions already.
Jesus. You missed _all_ of them?

HINT: App Paths, Cascade Start Menu, Customize QuickLaunch, etc.

Rudy Wieser - when you post what a _child_ would post, I have to call you
out on your utter inability to _comprehend_ the simplest of facts.

Rudy - please act like an _adult_ the _next_ time you post.
Please.

QUESTION: Is it even _possible_ for you, Rudy Wieser, to act like an adult?

That is the first thing I blow away when I am setting up an XP machine
(classic windows folders)
