How can I display Control Panel as a menu?

[LeveL]

I would normally search for such a tweak but it has the term "Control Panel" and all I keep finding is

HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop etc etc.

While im here, has anyone else found it a bit tough searching MSFN when it does not allow

short words? Even in double quotes it won't allow "display as a menu" because of the terms

"as" and "a".

Normally in Windows, the "Control Panel" on the Start Menu is a link that opens Control

Panel in a Window. I just want to find the registry tweak that displays Control Panel as a

menu on the Start Menu (like the picture below) so when you hover over it, the Control

Panel expands out...

From what other posts seem to suggest:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Start_ShowControlPanel"=dword:00000002
"CascadeControlPanel"="Yes"

Haven't tried it though.

Try the google search box at the top of the page, using quotes (e.g. control panel "as a menu"). Works great
