XP: Start Menu Registry Hacks 3 (Scripts Included)

You can add and remove all the annoying features XP forces upon you, including the pinned window, recent documents, and logoff/shutdown buttons.


All keys apply to the Start menu.

Key Path for All Keys (except the last one):

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

value 00000001 = 1 for enabled
value 00000000 = 0 for disabled

*I will write all code with the intention of enabling the feature.
*These hacks should also remove the check boxes from the Start menu customization menu, so keep your script in case you wish to go back.
