Hi all,
Any way to force Windows XP SP2 to use the classic start menu??
Maybe remove the "XP" start menu option or grey it out??
Thanks

If XP Pro, use Group Policy.

User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and Taskbar

Policy: Disable the new simple Start Menu
Description: Disables the new simple Start menu and forces the classic Start
menu.
Registry Value: "NoSimpleStartMenu"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore
r
The registry entries are DWORD values. A value of 1 is enabled, and a value
of 0 is disabled.

Are you saying the classic menu will not stick? If so, it's probably a
registry problem and someone will provide a fix. But to change to classic,
go into the taskbar properties>start menu>choose classic.
