Glad to report that this issue is fixed in upcoming 2.0 beta 1. Not likely to make it into 2.0, but maybe later, maybe via some registry options. Not sure how this can work out.

That's a funny glitch which is also in Windows 7. To fix this, go to Control Panel - Folder Options, choose 'Single-click to open an item' - 'Underline ... only when i point to them', then click Apply. Check 'Double-click to open an item' back after, if you're using double click.

Trying to work this around via black list won't succeed, too many programs can fail when their state is externally modified. It would be better to trick DWM into thinking windows are layered while they aren't. I didn't find a way yet, but there should be.

Okay, i'll look into this. But to solve this broken record issue right now, go to %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned and create there a folder named Games.{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52} That will add games into search.

Disable start menu translucency in StartIsBack properties.Congrats on 0.2 release!

Since 1.3.1 newly installed games create shortcuts in Games start menu subfolder so it's searched like in Windows 7. If you don't have some shortcuts there, create them.

'Clear recent items list' is there for me.

Well, giving more problems to user is a bad option. Although I don't understand yet why startscreen.exe is flagged, it's totally one-line app without encryption / network / whatever algorithms. Maybe because it uses DeleteFile API call, lol. Edit: it flags startscreen.exe malware because of icons in it. That's rude discrimination.

Thank you Gen:Variant.Kazy? What the insane stuff again. It's clear, of course. I'll resolve this issue in next version.

Yes, it will be fixed before 2.0 release. You can check how All Programs flyout (XP style) displays with high contrast mode.Thanks for orb images, they're great! Beta testing is not for faint-hearted. Of course it's not default.

Nope.

Y A Y B E T A T E S T I N G StartIsBack 2.0 beta 0 Ladies and gentleman, please welcome StartIsBack 2.0 beta 0. Please keep in mind this is early beta. This version is not indended for everyday use and represents early 2.0 stage. What's new: More in the release notes. http://startisback.com/StartIsBack_20beta0.zip Don't flame the discussion too hard.

Then it should work for non-transparent taskbar too.

That's right, if blur is done correctly it will be applied to the start menu if additional translucency is disabled. Taskbar may need a bit of additional processing which i should offer in future version.

You may try as well injecting into winlogon and catching dwm.exe starting, injecting your DLL by the way. Or hijack some system CLSIDs which dwm uses, but that won't be much better than system file patching. Also, when writing AppInit_DLL, make sure it does not link directly to user32.dll or libraries using it, otherwise it may fail to initialize (that was true in 2000 times).

Totally awesome. I will help you with this if i can

This is a bug in PaintShop Pro shell extension which manifests on Windows 7 as well. To fix this, delete [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Corel PaintShop Pro X5]

That's obviously a touchpad driver issue which pushes start menu window on top. Perhaps i can work this around. That's the style for default search control. Something slows disk i/o down. Windows Defender is known to cause big slowdowns.

I hope you guys are not tired of dotdot releases. 1.3.3 is up with DEP fix, which was critical. Although nobody cared for 3 months

SIB legit versions were downloaded about 100,000 times. That includes updates and of course only some fraction of users buys it.

DEP issue is sure shameful, expect a fix soon.

I've adressed this in a email. Now for Autoruns, it's not possible for it to detect every change in a COM registration registry database. COM database is a dark place where you can change one obscure entry and make your library load instead of another one in almost every process, since it's widely used inside all programs.

StartIsBack replaces two system shell classes in SOFTWARE\CLASSES branch.

I would be interested to make this version, but for now thethered jailbreak nature and lack of option to run Windows RT in virtual machine limits my options. Let's move discussion to the PM.

Installer runs with normal privileges. When you install for all users, it starts itself elevated. After elevated copy is finished installing, original unelevated process restarts explorer. So you can't get explorer elevated unless you run installer elevated at the first place.
