John Veteran Posted June 15, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 15, 2003 (edited) i know a lot of you have been waiting for this for a while, and it's finally done :D it's finally done, after some procrastination on my part :blush: and a few long nights spent trying to figure out the email icon, i decided to remove it, because i can't get all the parts of it to work. :crazy: also, it now needs SP1 for xp because a few problems could only be resolved by updating to SP1. if you do need SP1, it will tell you and automatically open the SP1 webpage. here it is, enjoy :woot: Edit: Due to Neowin's conversion to IPB 2.0, the file was lost. I've re-uploaded it, so no need to worry :p 3324 downloads so far! :woot: Start_Panel_Editor.zip Edited October 13, 2004 by gameguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrex Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 This program is great!!! I had used the OEM modified start menu thingy before, but to change all the other (useless) buttons is great! I love it! Good work gameguy!! Love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted June 18, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted June 18, 2003 :rofl: jazmon again with the screenshot request :shifty: i should have posted one earlier, but i never think about them :( anyway: this is what it looks like with KB update installed. if you don't have it installed, a link to it will be placed where the "set program access and defaults" option is.

mRW1Zard Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I am sure I can guess how to get this to work from the reg file examples, do know off hand if one is able to add more icons to the start menu, such as one below the OEM Icon? Just seeing how far I can push XP, before go blowing up my version of XP again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted June 19, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted June 19, 2003 no, it's not possible. believe me, i tried :rofl: you need an updated version of explorer.exe to add additional icons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mRW1Zard Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Do you know off hand if there are registry settings for pinning Icons to the start menu? If so what they are. This may become my work around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaron Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Do you know off hand if there are registry settings for pinning Icons to the start menu? If so what they are. This may become my work around. I believe you can just Right-click any .exe file and choose pin to Start menu. >XP Pro SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted June 20, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted June 20, 2003 i don't know off hand but i would assume yes. how else would windows remember which icons are "pinned"? ;) but i don't know where they're stored and i could even be wrong :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkj2k Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Does this utility support server 2003? If not, will it be on your support list on next released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted June 24, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2003 it should work on all future versions of windows that use the xp style start menu. if you have any problems with it on xp or server 2003, PM me and i will fix it. it should also work on longhorn, but that's in alpha stage and i didn't design it for longhorn. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
