Hello PE-Friends
For the win_10 PE (PE5) there is a new "Power-Toy" developed by Misty: "MistyPE"
Kudos and thanks to you Misty!
MistyPE uses "BBLean" as shell and "Launchbar" Program to create a "Start Menu".
Launchbar displays links that it finds in the "Quick Launch" folder of the systemprofile.
Subfolders of "Quick Launch" appear as sub-menues.
As before PE-Links supports you in extending / customizing your boot menu by placing links
in "Quick Launch" as well as in "Start Menu" of explorer shell.

Getting started:
Choose your Custom PE-Root-Directory by [PE-ROOT] button.
"PE-Links" has also a SendTo-Option to open "PE-Root" directories.
Syntax: PE-Links.exe [Folder] [Option]
"PE-Root" directory must have content as follows, to be recognized by the script:
%PE-Root%\Program Files
%PE-Root%\Windows
Once chosen, you can easily access "Program Files", "Program Files (x86)", "Windows", "Start Menu" etc.
The program will remember chosen "PE-Root" directories.
--------------------------------------
Available locations to store Links:
PE-Builds using User-Profile: "MS-Explorer / EmergeDesktop"
Desktop [X:\Users\Default\Desktop]
SendTo-User [X:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo]
Startmenu [X:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs]
Links [X:\Users\Default\Links]
Administrative Tools [X:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools]
PE-Builds using Systemprofile: "BS-Explorer / Launchbar"
SendTo [X:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo] (BS-Explorer)
Quick Launch [X:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch] (BS-Explorer / Launchbar)
--------------------------------------
If "PE-Root" directory is valid,
- choose the "Major-Directory" (eg "Program Files") by the combo.
Note: "Major-Directory" is one of these:
\Windows
\Program Files
\Program Files (x86)
\Users\Default
- select a Sub-Folder inside %Major-Directory% (eg "7-Zip") by [Select]-Directory button.
- select a file inside the "Sub-Folder" (eg "7zFM.exe") by [Select]-File button.
- select a custom icon for the selected file (eg "myIcon.ico") by [Select]-Icon button.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The icon-file must be placed inside a "Major-Directory" of "PE-Root" (eg "\Program Files").
This is due to the use of System-Variables %WINDIR% %PROGRAMFILES% %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% and %USERPROFILE%.
To get around this:
- mount the "PE-Root" to X:
- tick [Use Absolute Path]
- create links that point to absolute path.
- use icons from somewhere on the (mounted) X: drive.
- this way you can repair broken links.
------------------------------------------------------------------
- tick the locations for the links to create.
- push the button [CREATE PE-LINKS]
Open link locations directly by respective buttons.
For servicing the "PE-Root" use [PE Environment] to open specified folders.
To check a created Link use [File] / [Load Shortcut to Array] and see details.
Example:
Create a Folder "Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86\Program Files\Notepad2"
Copy Notepad2.exe to created Folder
Send "Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86" to PE-Links.exe
in PE-Links-GUI:
set Directory: [Program Files] from Combo
[Select] Notepad2 folder
[Select] Notepad2.exe file
set Link-Name, Parameter, Icon (Optional)
check Places to store your Links (on Desktop, in Programs, etc.)
press [Create PE-Link] to do the job.
Have fun customizing your PE-System.
Regards T.
PS. You can also create shortcuts to real files/folders by using [View]\[Extended Mode].
