Start Menu on First Boot...


Recommended Posts

I have the following reg tweak in my reg file that is executre T-13 stage...

; DISABLE Start Menu Popping Up on First Boot
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"StartMenuInit"=dword:00000000

yet the start menu still pops up on first boot?

Any other suggestions?

That's what I'm saying. Don't know what to tell you, it works okay for me, unless I sysprep the machine.

I've noticed that when I sysprep a machine that setting seems to get changed somehow. Weird, but it happens. I think it may be that the Default User account gets changed back to the default. Or I missed a step somewheres.

This is what I have and it seems to work:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"StartButtonBallonTip"=dword:00000002

"StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002

Does this work for you?

Hmmm.... something smells fishy here. Are you sure that the reg entry is being executed and there isn't a conflicting registry entry somewhere in your tweaks file?

Does the reg entry "take"? For example, after you've applied this reg entry, can you open regedit, navigate to this key and see that they are set like we've shown you?

Just some ideas... :)
