Can someone help me find some Keys??

Im looking for two registry keys!!

1 - To stop the "My Pictures" & "My eBooks" from showing up in the Documents Folder.

2 - To keep the start menu in the posistion I left it in when I logged out. I use a different size, and it keeps going to the defualt size when I log in!!

Thanx!!

"...1 - To stop the ... from showing up in the Documents Folder..."
at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders remove the path from the valuename that corresponds to the preset file. The valuename must remain, but has an empty string.
At the same time you need to remove that subdirectory from MyDocuments, or the registry will rebuild at next login.

J can get a clean state on my WinXPPro/final.

"...2 - To keep the start menu in the posistion I left it in when I logged out..."
J think something J don't know: how do you change the position of the start menu ? Or do you mean moving the task bar to one of the other edges of the screen ?

With the task bar thing, I use my task bar on the bottom of the screen, but have it twice the size it is when its at its default. When I use "classic" windows" interface it keeps returning to Windows default size!! If I move it to the side, it also returns back to the bottom!!

Its not a big deal, just an annoyance!!

Thanks, the other key worked just fine too!!!!
Windows, Sheesh!!!

Please try the following tweak, but set the value to 0 (zero) to disable.
