Elotemuygrande Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I tried for hours last night to get this to work, it's the only windows setting I can't find a way to modify in the Registry. When the start menu is set to classic mode(by a system policy reg key), how do I modify the registry setting for using small icons??? I tried setting the 9th value of the Stuckrects2 key as many people have mentioned and then logging out or restarting, but this seems to have no effect! I've made changes to the start menu, logged out, exported the key after login, and tested it to have no effect. Could someone please post in detail how they were able to get this to work? please?

Aegis Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 It's a key named Shell Icon Size I think. Change it to 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 The value is Start_LargeIcons=1, but it's deleted after it set ! I don't know why ... I don't understand the system for the classic start menu ...By the way we can see that :[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartMenu\StartMenu\SmallIcons]"Type"="checkbox""Text"="@shell32.dll,-30477""HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced""ValueName"="Start_LargeIcons""CheckedValue"=dword:00000000"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001"HelpID"="windows.hlp#6010"But modify/create the first key doesn't work and modify last key too ...Good luck , I can't help you ...
