Sgt_Strider Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Is it possible to create a registry entry that will enable quick launch and with 4 icons being displayed with classic start menu, hide inactive icons unchecked, and uncheck personalize menu in the customize tab for classic start menu?

blinkdt Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 All due respect to MCT, but my heart goes out to Sgt Strider or anyone trying to search the "Registry Tweaks" thread. The four keys you need, sarge, are:;enable Quick Launch toolbar w/ (your preferred number of) spaces[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]"TaskbarWinXP"=hex:0c,00,00,00,08,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,b0,e2,2b,d8,\ 64,57,d0,11,a9,6e,00,c0,4f,d7,05,a2, yadda, yadda, yadda, etc., etc., etc.;disable Hide Inactive Icons feature in Status Notification Area[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]"EnableAutoTray"=dword:00000000;Use personalized menus=false[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"IntelliMenus"="No";Enable ClearType for ALL Users[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]"FontSmoothing"="2""FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"FontSmoothing"="2""FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002The first key is created by exporting the [...\Streams\Desktop] key from the registry AFTER you have the Quick Launch bar set up as you like on a clean machine. I then remove the "Toolbars" and "Upgrade" entries found at the bottom of the key. It works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
