Is there any way to add something to the right side of the start menu?

I would like to add onedrive to the right side of the start menu, the same place the Run and Administrator folders are located.  Is this possible?

Perfect! This led me to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8\Locations

Which you can enter an executable in the keyname if you want not just a folder name.  So you can add programs as well...

i.e.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8\Locations]
"C:\\Users\\[USERNAME]\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\OneDrive\\OneDrive.exe"="OneDrive"

This forces the application to check that your signed in first.  (Though i think windows already does this if you try to access the folder.)  It could also be used to add other items to the start menu.

Thanks for your fast response!
