Language settings & start panel probs

[Chester^]

Hello every one

I have some minor problems with my unattended windows.

First of, I can’t seem to find the InputLocale for kayboard layouts Geek 319 and 319 (Latin)

The InputLocale for Greek is 0408:00000408 I know that but is there any way to install those two?

My other problem is that in start panel I don’t get any shortcuts of programs I use.

Anyone know what is causing it a service or a reg key?

Picture below.

Thanks in advance

sorry that i am of no help to you. but can you tell me where you got that visual style from. it looks amazing!!!

[ms25]

does it happen on other user accounts? (the start menu shortcut list)

if it doesn't, then you could create a new account and move your documents and everything into the new one, then delete your old one!

Not an option, it an unattended installation must be a registry tweak I apply but I can’t seem to find witch one...

*EDIT*

The style is Crystal Luna, u can get is here

The list of Frequently Used Programs on the bottom L of the Start Menu is indeed stored in the registry but it only gets populated when you have actually run a program on the installation.

This is one of the locations:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage

There is already a thread with a list of input locale IDs in this forum so have a look. It's also on the MS website.

What did you actually do? When in the uA did you apply the reg?

I said that is one of the locations. There seems to be others.

I can’t seem to find the InputLocale for kayboard layouts Geek 319 and 319 (Latin)

I think these are character set (code pages) in the old days; not sure if these are still used nowadays.

I believe this is the key that did it for me

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoStartMenuMFUprogramsList"=dword:00000000

It will take a reboot (or 2?) and opening a few programs for things to start showing up

Takeshi, i found the problem

it was cused by this registry key:

;-----  Won't check if you are low on diskspace and pop up a balloon telling you
;-----  NoInstrumentation disables windows user tracking
;-----
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoInstrumentation"=dword:00000001

Thanks for all your help!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

i will try that while i got the problem and let you know.

bacd: it didnt word for me..

imported it into the registry rebooted 2 times and opend alot of programs still nothing..

i tested it and disabling NoInstrumentation was the problem

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoInstrumentation"=dword:00000001

1 to disable 0 to enable.

[Takeshi]

The double negatives can be confusing; basically [NoInstrumentation = 1] means Windows will not track your program usage.

You can just delete the policy subkey if you want Windows to behave as default; leaving it as 0 doesn't do anything (and causes confusion). But that's just me not wanting to leave useless keys hanging around.

It looks you have imported someone else's reg tweak.
