Doc Symbiosis Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 To do this automated, use a batch containing the following codestart /wait reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu" /fstart /wait reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu2" /fstart /wait taskkill /im explorer.exe /Fstart explorer.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 @Doc Symbiosis - I wouldn't recommend doing this... killing explorer is a bit extreme for re-sorting your start menu... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Symbiosis Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) O.k., I should have pointed out to use this with caution. Everyone who wants to use this should understand, what these lines mean.I run this in my unattended installation right after WPI is executed as final step and so there's no problem using this then.By the way, I searched a while ago for an automated solution for this, but didm't find another one.

nmX.Memnoch Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I run this in my unattended installation right after WPI is executed as final step and so there's no problem using this then.Why even do it then? You've probably got a reboot somewhere after WPI which will take care of reloading exlorer.exe anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Symbiosis Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 But depending on the software, which I install with WPI, a restart isn't necessary and so to be sure, I restart the explorer.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
