Multiple submenus

How to replicate a feature of Classic Shell

from Stardock Forums

I learned today that Classic Shell will not be supported anymore, so I have been searching for a replacement. I have installed a trial version of Start 10 and have been able to replicate almost entirely my Classic Shell setup.

One valuable feature (to me) appears to me missing, or at least I can't find it if it is already there. I have a number of shortcuts in the left-hand column and, when I hover the mouse on one of the shortcuts, the submenu appears.

Classic Shell goes a stage further. If I now hover on a folder in the submenu, another submenu appears. Again, if I hover on a folder in this second submenu, another submenu opens, and so on and so on.

This is a very practical facility and saves opening multiple file explorer pages in order to "dig down" to the folder I want to open.

I searched the forum and there was what appears to me to be a request for this facility several years ago.

So, does this multiple submenu facility exist in Start10 and I am missing it, or it this facility in the pipeline?

Thank you.

My apologies for the delay in responding. I did not receive an email to tell me that there was a response. However, I've settled in to Start10 and I'm happy with it.

Following your suggestion, I can list the submenus of "This PC". (If I could work out how to attach a picture, I would have included it).

However, I am using the Start 10 menus in a different way from you. I show only top level folders in the left-hand column, not applications. I can therefore display the next level down, but not levels below that. (I would like to have attached a picture of this as well.)

But I have got used to how this works, and it's okay.
