the_guy Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Not an HFSLIP bug, but is caused by the latest shell32.dll update.Find the following registry key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}The value should be 1 to hide, or 0 to show the icon.It now has to be done manually.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvidal Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) I suspected something like that, thanks.Is it a bug or a "feature" of the latest shell update?Edit:That key doesn't exist, one has to create it before setting it to "0"And, the correct key isHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanelSo, one has to create the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}an set it to 0.BTW, if it is a "feature", micro$oft outdid themselves in the sheer-stupidity-department Edited November 16, 2007 by jvidal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 It depends on whether you have the default Start menu or the Classic Start menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvidal Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Actually, no. I switched to Classic start menu and the key remains the same: NewStartPanel.bye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 The proper subkey if you're using the Classic Start menu is ClassicStartMenu. I suppose Windows automatically copies this, then. If not, it's a new bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvidal Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Like I said, I switched to the classic start menu, then opened regedit and navigated to the key and it still was "NewStartPanel", nothing had changed.So either a) it requires a reboot to take or b)it's a new bug.bye!

Tomcat76 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 It isn't supposed to change. Both subkeys should exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvidal Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) Only one exists...BTW, my "send to" option disappeared from the right-click-menu...I don't know if it is another side effect of the update or what, but I applied the patch on other windows installation (virtual) and it didn't disappear...weird.
