Re: Change to classic start menu?

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for the answer.

It's no problem to change settings directly in the registry using a VBScript
(or VB.NET program). It works fine, but the questions are:
- is this the right way to change windows settings (all google results for
changing windows settings are often based on the registry change)?
- why doesn't window save the settings also in the registry if you change it
using windows GUI (e.g. PROPERTIES => START MENU => CLASSIC START MENU
enable radio button)? Where are saved the settings if not in the registry
(does Windows has an own data base out of registry)?

I want to create a program, which can be used to configure all machines (new
and existing), and I must be sure that it works correctly! For example if the
windows setting (e.g. classic start menu) is set but registry value doesn't
exist, then it should be correct if my application create the registry key
and set it to defined value!

PS: I see that I have also an another problem. If I change windows setting
using the GUI, then in the most cases I don't need a restart to see changes.
Bat If I set the same setting in the registry, then I need a restart to see
the changes on the machine! It would be nice to change all windows setting on
the same way as windows does it (whitout using the registry)! But how manage
Windows the settings?

Thanks
