Classic menu without using NoSimpleStartMenu?

Hi,

I'm building an unattended XP installation. With these three registry keys
I'm able to setup my startmenu in Classicmode and with small icons:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSimpleStartMenu"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ClassicViewState"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]
"Settings"=hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,06,00,00,00 ,03,00,00,00,6b,00,00,00,22,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,8e,04,00,00,40,06,00,00,b0,04 ,00,00

The first forces the menu in classic mode, in fact the simple mode is not a
choice anymore in the GUI.

The second doesn't do much I think (not sure). But when I leave the first
key out, the second and third alone do nothing.

The nineth binary value in the StuckRects2 key sets the small icons mode for
the classic menu (derived that from earlier answers in this group)

What I don't like about this solution is that I'm not able to set the menu
back to simple mode anymore after applying this.

Does anyone have better solutions?

Regards,

Roland

Roland,

and/or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\

Disables the new simple Start menu and forces the Classic Start Menu.
Same as this >> Group Policy editor (Gpedit.msc)

Yup, anything helps. I'm getting ahead in this world of classics. Maybe I
should just get used to this new menu! ;-)

Vogel sounds like a Dutch name.. I hope I'm not making an effort on writing
this in my best English.. while all this time.. you're also understanding...
dankjewel!

Hello daar Roland,

Vogel can be Dutch Swedish or German. It means bird in all three languages.
In my case it is German.

I just noticed the .nl in your E-mail address. :-)

However, I lived in a little town in Northwest Iowa, Orange City. Town was
full of Dutch people. They even have a Tulip Festival every year. The
richest people in town were also named Vogel. They are Dutch and own five
paint factories. ;-)

[[Vogel Paint and Wax was started in 1926 by Andrew Vogel in Orange City,
Iowa. He had immigrated from Holland back around 1910 with his parents. His
father was also a painter and paper hanger in Holland. When Andrew moved to
northwest Iowa he began farming.]]

The Orange City Tulip Festival
http://www.octulipfestival.com/

Welcome to Orange City, Iowa!
http://www.orangecityiowa.com/

This is a town where you holler, "Hey, Van." And everybody looks. :-)

Just look at the list of surnames for Sioux County. Orange City is in Sioux
County. Scroll down to the Vs. :-) Van..., Vande..., Vanden..., Vander...
http://www.rootsweb.com/~iasioux/surname/sur_tz.htm

Heck, the Ts are full of Te..., Ten... and Ter... Plenty of surnames ending
in sma also. One of my best friends was a Van Klompenburg. Speaking of
klompen, Orange City even has a wooden shoe factory.

Okay then Birdman!

I know a lot of Dutch people try to maintain their culture abroad. In Canada
there are also lots of places where festivities like Sinterklaas still are
kept alive:

http://www-astro.physics.ox.ac.uk/~erik/sint/sint.html

Somehow being Dutch runs deep I guess. Somtimes it seems we are a sort of
native indians trying hard to keep alive our culture. Being truely Dutch
myself I'm not sure if it's worth that much.. lol

Anyhow. Nice meeting you.

Roland
