myselfidem Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks coucou, but it's a Desktop background shortcut, and it seems that nice_guy75 is searching a third-party software like ClassicShellSetup.exe or VistaStartMenu_Setup_3_86_freeware.exe to have Classic Start Menu!Or maybe I'm wrong?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start_menuhttp://classicshell.sourceforge.net/http://www.vistastartmenu.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Coucou is right as far as understanding my requirement is concerned but the reg he provided is not working for me.

myselfidem Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) The path isn't correct and if you use a tool like TuneUp Utilities or others, you will see that the keys inside:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\AdministrativeToolswill be removed. And no options will be displayed on right click on the Desktop!Because this reg key needs a command! Take a look inside the Registry!You can try with the new path I suggest you and you will see that all is really fine!

So now I have changed the path as you suggested, I would clean registries after few days and then see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
