start menu frequent used program list

[chatterbox]

hey everyone,

ok i searched the forum but could not seem to find the solution to my problem. i used nLite's registry tweaks and i think i chose an option that disables the frequently used program list from the XP start menu. now my left pane of the start menu is blank. i would like to undo the registry tweak. i have tried several tweaks so far but none seems to work. any help is appreciated. by the way, nice program nuhi. i don't know what i would do without it.

Calios has made a map of all available tweaks in the tweaks support thread at the top. I think if you "disable logging of executed programs" would cause that.

yeah i think that's the tweak i used but is there any way for me to undo that tweak without reinstalling windows again? what's the registry entry for that tweak? i've been searching but no results.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoRecentDocsMenu"=dword:00000001
"NoRecentDocsHistory"=dword:00000001

Change the 1 at the end of both to 0, save as reg file and import.

I think look in your nlite.inf and all the tweaks you selected sould be in there, just find the one that disabled it and then go fix it back in your registry.

i tried "NoRecentDocsMenu"=dword:00000001 and "NoRecentDocsHistory"=dword:00000001 keys already, but they just enable the recent documents menu not the most frequent used programs list. i also did look in the inf file but it just shows what tweaks i used not the registry entries themselves. thanks for your replies though. i'll continue finding a solution.

i'm probably over-simplifying, but did you try the standard start menu adjustments? (right-click the blank space in the start menu, click properties, then customize) Maybe all you need to do is increase the number of programs in the recent programs list...I have mine set to 8.

[chatterbox]

nope, that's not the problem either. i set mine up to 9.

[Paulie]

try to set this number to 0 and then to 8, log off, then log on

key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

"Start_MinMFU"

something like that helped me...

Had the same problem. To fix it, change following key to "0":

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\Settings\NoLog

s*** I have the same problem... left panel of the start menu is blank

[bledd]

what i do is right click a shortcut that i want there and click 'pin to start menu'

that way only the ones you want appear there!
