Classic Shell: Forum

I have 4.2.5 version of Classic Shell on my computer (Win7 x64). I offer to add a new option for "All Programms" menu: it would be better if i can change number of days for highlighting of new-installed programms (now time of highlighting is to short). For example i want new-installed program to highlight for 5 days (or 2,3,4...10)

You can adjust how long items stay highlighted. There is a hidden Registry setting: "OldProgramsAge" (DWORD value) at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings. Set it in Decimals to number of hours for which you want the highlight to remain. The default is 48 hours. Set it for example to 168 hours (1 week) or 336 hours (2 weeks) - any value you think is OK. 5 days would be 120 hours.
