HelpID #

[GregM]

Hi....I've tried this .....
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer\Advanced\Folder\StartMenuScrol lPrograms]
"Type"="checkbox"
"Text"="Multi-Column Start Menu"
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Expl orer\\Advanced"
"ValueName"="StartMenuScrollPrograms"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000000
"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000
"HelpID"="update.hlp"

notice the last line "HelpID"="update.hlp" when I followed the rest of the ones in the group they all,have a HelpID # but when I merged this file there is no such HelpID # to be seen. My question is, do I need the HelpID # and if so what number must I give it?
I also modified the reg file for a NoControlPanel too, same question.....what number is needed for this one also?

Thanx for your time reading this.

One question

Is it working?? Well, then I guess no.

The StartMenuScrollPrograms reg file I don't know as I do not have enough programs in my Programs Group yet as for the NoControlPanel reg file "No" that one does not work even after a reboot. They both go to Folder Options.....View... and I am able to place a check mark there or No check mark.

The Startmenu Scroll programs will work, where did you come up with the NoControlPanel entry?

I got the idea from the StartMenuScrollPrograms reg file that is listed in the Search here (menu.reg)I looked at how StartMenuScrollPrograms was done, looked around for how to make the Control Panel disappear (search again), found where Windows Update,Taskbar & Start Menu etc. were located in the registry and modified the menu.reg to work the same way. All the other entries have a "HelpID"="update.hlp" number so I figured that this NoControlPanel would too since it did not work. here it is here....
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer\Advanced\Folder\NoControlPanel]
"Type"="checkbox"
"Text"="Hide-Control Panel Start Menu"
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Expl orer\\Advanced"
"ValueName"="NoControlPanel"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000000
"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000
"HelpID"="update.hlp"
does it look right or am I way off?
