Classic Shell: Forum

Hi,

im installing Classic Start Menu with this options:

ClassicShellSetup64_4_0_2.msi /qn ADDLOCAL=ClassicStartMenu START_MENU_FOLDER=0

after installation im using a registry file to customize this tool. but after clicking the first time on the windows button the settings screen appears but i want to skip that.

Is there a way to achieve that?

Yes it's possible. Depending on whether you want to skip settings screen for a single user or all users, the method is different.

For a single user account which is currently logged in, create a DWORD value called "ShowedStyle2" in HKCU\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu and set it to 1.

For the HKLM branch (which affects all users), to suppress the initial opening of the settings, create a new string value MenuStyle_Default in HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu and set it to "Classic1", "Classic2" or "Win7" depending on which style you want to be the default.

If you merge the regs before installing, you won't have to restart Classic Start Menu. The first time it starts after installation, it will directly load your settings.
