Start Menu XP/Classic (WXP-Pro)

[SAgent007]

I like to know if there is a way to change the Start Menu from "XP mode" to "Classic Mode" using Registry ?

This is the information you requested. I have created two reg file. The first one is start menu and the second is Classic Start menu. Or you can directly edit the register. Copy each one between the lines and place past into notepad. Name one ClassicStartmenu.reg and the other Startmenu.reg. Double click on the file you desire and select yes to merg the file into the register. Log off and back on for the change to take effect.

The forth set of values from the end is the one you will be interested in. If you look at each reg file you will notice the only difference is 03 and 01 in the forth from the ends value.
I obtained this information using Regshot 1.61e5 Final.
