Hello, thank you for this tool, I love it But I have a problem to force the settings to all users and prevent them from changing them on windows server 2012. I do the settings, I copy HKCU\Software\IvoSoft in HKLM\Software\IvoSoft I added the key "EnableSettings"=dword:00000000 in HKLM\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu it does not work ... Could you tell me how to do this? Thx |

Have you tried exiting the Classic Start Menu by right clicking the Start button after you made these changes and starting it again from C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe? Or simply log off Windows user account and logon back again. Also, which version of Classic Shell are you running? |

You should not copy the entire key. The key contains more than just the settings. It has things like MRU programs, customized order of items in the menu, the positions of various dialogs, etc. Also on versions 3.9.0 and up the structure of HKCU and HKLM key are different. In HKCU the settings are stored in a \Settings sub-key. |

For the latest beta, the value needs to be as follows: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings] "EnableSettings"=dword:00000000 |

No, copy HKCU\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings into HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu. Try it for a few settings and it will make sense.

It is HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu |

Oh I thought maybe by latest beta he means 3.9.2, not 3.9.1. In 3.9.2 which I am using, it only works if it's at \Settings. Does not work if its at HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu |

There is no change between 3.9.1 and 3.9.2. I just tried it. |

I must be using a different version of Classic Shell on another planet because for me, it only works if the value exists in HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings. It doesn't work if the value exists in HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu. How is this possible? I just tried it.  I am using 3.9.2.

Export the key HKLM\Software\IvoSoft to a .reg file and attach it here. |

Attached. You're supposed to restart CSM after merging it right? Some black magic is going on only on my PC.

I see. The Settings key is used if it exists. Otherwise the parent key is used. So if you have an empty Settings key, anything you place in the parent key will be ignored. |
