Customizing Classic Start Menu Panel

[rip]

Is it posible to remove the configurations and search menus from the classic start panel leaving only the programs menu?

Here is a screencap of what I mean

I think that there is a option to remove these using nlite, in the tweaks section. However if you want to remove these from a current install, I'm afaird I can't help. You could try and find the reg tweaks that nlite uses and apply them to your install and see what happens

You can reshack Explorer.exe to get rid of those entries. I got rid of the search entry that way.

I downloaded reshack, opened up explorer and I found what I think is the line that is keeping configs in the menu, but I'm kinda lost as what to do next...

This is the way that I did it... (to remove the Search entry)

Open up Menu->204->1033 and delete the following lines:

POPUP "Sear&ch", 520, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0
{
  MENUITEM "", 65535, MFT_SEPARATOR, MFS_ENABLED
}

Click on Compile Script and then save the file. Use a program called Replacer to replace the original explorer.exe file in the C:\Windows directory.

Follow the same guidelines to remove other entries from the menu. After that, you should be set.

Hope this helps!
