Changing the width of the start button
Hi all,
I would like to make my start button a couple of pixels wider, so it looks like the start button did on Windows 2000. I'm sure I read ages ago that there is a registry setting that can be tweaked to do this. I have been searching the Web without success, all I could find was a reference to HKCU/Control Panel/Window Metrics/MinWidth, however all I have managed to do so far is make the application buttons on my task bar about quarter of the width they should be. Does anyone know how to change the size of the start button? Regards, Chris

Re: Changing the width of the start button
You could go for the entire Win 2000 look and use 'classic' mode.. it
improves performance too.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User "Chris Morrison" <chris@private.net> wrote in message news:uk3BhkUBGHA.2644@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > "Chris Morrison" <chris@private.net> wrote in message > news:eyk6gKLBGHA.4004@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... >> Hi all, >> >> I would like to make my start button a couple of pixels wider, so it >> looks like the start button did on Windows 2000.

It has taken a lot of hacking to get rid of all traces of that vile blue 'Luna' theme, this smaller start button is just bugging the hell out of me. Chris
