I have an application that creates a need for me to have the XP, New, Simple or Dual Pane Start Menu (whichever of the variations you want to call it).

I have a number of users who are pre-set to the Classic 9x Start Menu.

Everything I have tried from putting

Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSimpleStartMenu"=dword:00000000

Into the registry, to setting a group policy for "Force Classic Start Menu" to disabled.

None of it works.

Yes, I know I can right click and make the adjustment, but I need to automate the adjustment for accounts that already exist on the PC.

Any ideas?
 
Did go into the Start Menu Properites to select the Start Menu Tab. You can then choose Classic Start Menu and Start Menu Radio button.

Either one will change the start menu to your liking.
