Description:
In windows xp and windows 2003, you can choose between the start menu and the classic start menu display. This can be seen in the start menu tab when you open start > settings > taskbar and start menu. But, this setting can remove the start menu option from the dialog, leaving only classic start menu display. For this, go to start > run, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a dword value nosimplestartmenu, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value to 1 which removes the start menu from the dialog. However, if you want to get back to the original state, change the value to 0. The changes will take effect after a restart or logoff. Note: this feature works on internet explorer version 5 and above.
