Sorry I've managed to break the thread somehow. I'll copy this back to the

Thanks Haggis,

That sent me on a long diversion of background reading via Kelly's info.
Can't find anything about this specific problem though. As I've already
done a fair bit of customising on my start menu and use the classic
version I am reluctant to 'restore' it without knowing exactly what this
means. Cannot see a description of tweak 117, only the click to download.
Perhaps Kelly could enlighten us if she/he still reads these columns.

Regards,

Steve_H

Have XP Pro running the start menu in the 'classical' mode. There have
been occasional problems with the popups freezing on screen. Now I
notice that if I delete any shortcuts from the Startup shortcut menu,
the whole menu remains frozen on screen.

The underlying icons and windows remain accessible, but the only way to
remove the start menu pop ups is to use Task Manager to log off and
restart.

I used to get a similar problem with the task bar freezing, but got
around this with the 'Task Bar Activate' add on from Kelly's Corner.
Now how do I fix the start menu?

Thanks in advance,

Steve_H


go back to Kelly's and look at tip #117 "restore task bar and start
menu"
