Hey everyone,

Is there a way to disable the settings for classic start menu when you first use it?

We have an imaged windows 8.1 computer which includes the classic start menu.
Each time a user logs into the computer, the settings for classic start menu would appear.

thanks,
bleepbloop

There is a Group Policy setting called Menu style under Computer Configuration branch.

You can also choose to edit registry directly instead.
For a single user account which is currently logged in, create a DWORD value called "ShowedStyle2" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu and set it to 1.

For the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch (which affects all users), to suppress the initial opening of the settings, create a new string value MenuStyle_Default in HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu and set it to "Classic1", "Classic2" or "Win7" depending on which style you want to be the default.

The menu must be restarted after changing registry settings. You can exit it from the command line using: "C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe" -exit

I am still having trouble with Windows 8.1 X64 and Classic Start Menu 4.1.0 Can you tell me if my settings are correct? The problem I am having is, every time a new user logs in and clicks the start button, the Settings menu comes up. I would like to have this disabled. Here my settings in HKLM.
