  • Thank You VG

  • Hmm, and me I want the classic menu back in W7.... Weird...

  • Thanks so much, Vishal!

    As you may have noticed from my previous comments, my internet connection's not very quick, so updating my Trend Micro takes a while when I fall behind, and I don't want to stay up next to my computer at night, I'd prefer to schedule it.

    Thanks.

  • I now know how to. Don't need to tell me. Sorry and thanks.

  • Hey Vishal,

    Sorry for posting three times in a row, but should you write something about Conficker after all the hype is over? Just wondering if you could guide us through the next-generation Y2K.

  • THis thing is trash! I instlled it on a WinXP machine. Completely unusable. Russian text. I tried for an hour to uninstall it. Nothing in Add/Remove, no uninstall program, nothing!!!

    I had to restore frm a previous restore point to get back to work! Avioid this at all costs! If you insist on installing it, be sure you have a backup and a recent restore point...

  • @Hank Arnold:
    Just open Task Manager, go to the Processes tab, and end "SmartUp.exe".

    Oh, and VG, this is just another rival to Vista Start Menu!

  • Hey Vishal,

    About the shutdown.exe switches... logging off works perfectly, but shut down takes forever.

    I'm running XP Pro SP2.

    Also, is there a way I can change this up so that themenus don't open as soon as I hover over them?

    TIP: The About... dialog box is great fun. Click the area where the logo is, and have fun for about 30 seconds.

  • Vishal,

    How do I make a shortcut to the XP shutdown MENU? The one with the three buttons? I'd like to have that with me.

  • VG

    ^^ Sorry mate but I don't know about it and I think it can't be implemented because it requires some code to launch the dialog box.
