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\CurrentVersion\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.
