number of programs on start menu

[Mario Savard]

Hi guys,

I would like to disable the "number of programs on start menu" from the
start menu. I know how to do in the default windows Start Menu. But If I
change it into "Classic Start Menu" there are showing 6 in my list. How can
I turn them off from the registry?

Thanks Mario

Have you tried setting the count to 0 from Taskbar settings?

This options will work only if you use the default mode of Windows XP. Like
I mention if you switch to Classic Start Menu the settings doens't apply into
classic mode.

Wesley, he wanted to know how to change the "Number of programs on Start
menu:" accessed from Taskbar and Start Menu Properties/Start
Menu/Customize...

The registry key is:


Code:
--------------------
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
; Taskbar and Start Menu Properties/Start Menu/Customize.../Number of programs on Start menu:
; 0 <= value <= 30
"Start_MinMFU"=dword:00000019
--------------------
From my personal registry script used on public computers (I set it to
25). Took me ages to find it. Obviously just set it to 00000000 in your
case.
