Hi Ivo!
Thank you for replying and your help!
I'm using windows 10.586.214 pro x64
I can't find any setting for that in windows, or near the taskbar.
Do you know where more exactly? |

I've just tried win10TP and only different is there is a pretty useless startmenu.
I also despise the windows 7 startmenu with non-cascading menu.
Not much else differs what i can see. It's more like windows 8.2
Nice to see that Classic Shell works just fine with it. |

The way i have put the layout in the menu,
is what is not getting imported/fixed when i import the XML file.
From the "customize start menu" and the layout itself where all is in the menu. |
