wonsleinad Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Are there registry settings for "display as menu" for Control Panel, My Computer, etc.Is it possible to make the xp start menu only 1 row? Instead of having common programs in the first row then all the other stuff in the second row, can I put it all in 1 row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piaqt Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Right-click a blank spot on the taskbar and select properties. Then: Start menu tab \ customize button \ advanced tab.That should provide you all the above options. Also, search Microsoft.com for XP power toys and download TweakUI.

wonsleinad Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 I realize it can be done in the start menu settings, but I was wondering if there are corresponding values in the registry. That way I can have it automatically set up on my unattended install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Yes you can do all that. Read this and use that programhttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=18284For the can I put it all in 1 rowcheck the Start_AutoCascade here and set to a 0[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"Start_AutoCascade"=dword:00000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonsleinad Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 MaxXpSoft, I tried that program, and it wouldn't even install. As for "Start_AutoCascade", I'm not sure if it did anything, but I noticed no difference.Edit: I'm using Regshot instead, it's free and can be downloaded from HERE.If you're using Regshot, you make a tweak and it comes out with registry code like this:[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-583907252-515967899-725345543-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\LastTheme]"Wallpaper"=""Simply change it to:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\LastTheme]"Wallpaper"="" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 (edited) wouldn't even install? That's strangeI've used reghot and i'll stay with the other. More option'sThe one I use exports both but I allways delete HKEY_USERS cause as soon as a key is added to the Current_user it writes to that other with your SID. Then when you log off it writes that to your ntuser.dat in your profile folder. You don't want to export with the SID because when you setup XP next time chances are very high your SID will be different.BTW auto_cascade tells it to go to 2 coumns if enough things are added that it needs it, I have 3, if you want the 1 column you end up with those stupid arrows to expand which are a pain to scroll through.EDIT if you want 1 then look here and reverse what we been trying to help this guy with. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=19325Have fun Edited May 17, 2004 by maxXPsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonsleinad Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 actually maxXPsoft I was reffering to the part of the start menu with the shutdown, my computer, etc. I was wondering if that could be made into one row? I really don't think it can, but I was wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
