- Enable Classic Startmenu WITH SMALL ICONS
- Posted by R.J.T. Plomp on November 6th, 2005
Hi,
I've found the wat to add /modify the right registry key to get the
startmenu to run in classic mode (for an unattended installation). But I've
so far not found a way to make the classic startmenu run with SMALL ICONS.
Does anyone know how to do that?
Regards,
Roland

For the XP Start Menu.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\
Explorer\Advanced
Value Name: Start_LargeMFUIcons
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 0 or 1
0 = Enables smal icons on the Start Menu
1 = Enables large icons on the Start Menu
The Classic Start Menu is more complicated.
Windows XP uses the 9th binary value...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\
Explorer\StuckRects2
Value Name: Settings
Value Type: REG_BINARY
Value Data: (Mine)
hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,02,00,00,00,03,00,00,0 0,6b,00,00,00,1e,\00,00,00
,fe,ff,ff,ff,3c,02,00,00,22,03,00,00,5a,02,00,00
SINGLE OPTIONS:
08 = No Settings Enabled
09 = Auto Hide
00 = Show Clock
0A = Always on Top
0C = Show small icons in Start Menu
MULTIPLE OPTIONS:
01 = Auto Hide and Show Clock
02 = Always on Top and Show Clock
03 = Always on Top and Auto Hide and Show Clock
04 = Show small icons in Start Menu and Show Clock
0E = Always on Top and Show small icons in Start Menu
0F = Always on Top and Auto Hide and Show small icons in Start Menu
06 = Always on Top and Show small icons in Start Menu and Show Clock
07 = All Options Enabled
0B = Always on Top and Auto Hide
0D = Auto Hide and Show small icons in Start Menu

I have no idea what combination of what does what. You can spend your time
experimenting.

Hi,
That's from a KIX-script I assume. I've seen it, tried it, and it works as a
script, but so far I wasn't able to solve the puzzle that script does.
Something to work on I guess ;-)
I will continue, thx for the reply.

Roland,
MS, for some unknown reason, has basically hidden this info for the Classic
Start Menu.
Copy the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\
Explorer\Advanced
key from a system that you already have set up the way you want.
Then you do not have to know which combination does what in
Start_LargeMFUIcons. ;-)

Hope this helps. Let us know.

But that path doesn't contain the StuckRects2 value.. which is also needed I
understand. So export Advanced and the StuckRects2 key?

My mistake,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\
Explorer\StuckRects2
is what I meant.
But, sure, copy both keys.
