Small update: Re-organized the mess my Start menu had become. From:  Now:  And this: Reshackd SoundBooster, made to resemble the classic Volume control. Sadly, can't share this as it's a commerical product, but I'll provide the resource script you need to edit: 102 DIALOG 0, 0, 50, 80 STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP EXSTYLE WS_EX_TOPMOST | WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW CAPTION "" LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg" { CONTROL "Boost", 1010, STATIC, SS_CENTER | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 0, 4, 50, 8 CONTROL "", 1001, "msctls_trackbar32", TBS_VERT | TBS_BOTH | TBS_NOTICKS | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 16, 15, 20, 50 CONTROL "&Enable", 1002, BUTTON, BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 4, 70, 60, 8 CONTROL "", 1011, STATIC, SS_BITMAP | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 5, 19, 7, 45 } And the custom icon I made for it.

That looks so much smaller now you organized it. |

Also, how did you get the lines underneath the start menu labels? I don't even get them anywhere, and I mostly navigate the start menu with the keyboard.   |

^ Yep. And if you want it system wide, you need to use UPMCalc and tick bit 5.

Oh nice, downloading it now, thanks. Two welcome additions if I do say so myself - now all we need is the option to disable the glow effect when you hover over tasks and Tasbow would be perfect. New version has this option: www.taskbow.com/taskbowfree.1.1.7.6.exe.zip |

Some updates: Added some items to the context menu for executable files:  - QuickView: loads up an older version of "V The File Viewer", which as close as I find as an alternative to the real thing. Getting older versions of QV isn't possible on x64 W10 (at least with the fix for Vista) and the modern version of QV is commerical, ugly and bloated. This does the job for me. This item has been added to other files' context menus as well. - Run In 16 Bit Mode: Loads the EXE up in OTVDM. - Run In MSDOS Mode: Loads the EXE up in DOSBOX. - Open With: Disabled the real Open with menu, installed "Types" and renamed it's context menu. In 32 bit file managers, I have an additional Open With item that acts like the classic "Open with" but is so much better - OpenExpert.  Finally, been making some changes to the Search section of my Start Menu:  A QOL addition seeing as LTSB 2016 lacks the Registry Editor's address bar that was added in a later update; one of the rare updates that was actually something I miss about being on 1709. It opens up Nirsoft's RegScanner. |

Props to Scamdisk for the idea; implemented a replica of the classic Control Panel. All links work, and I even added comments to them:  Also added it to the Start menu:  ![]() |

Thanks again Anixx, it's done  :  I have a few questions as well. * How did you make the taskbar to look classic on Win10? * How did you make Quero to affect File Explorer (on my system it affects only IE)? By the way, the latest 7+ Taskbar Tweaker utility allows to reduce padding between the tray icons on Win10 to the Win2000/XP standard 2px The taskbar is from ReactOS. It;s a little unfinished, but it's functional besides some issues with the systray. I'd still take it over the default W10 one: www.winclassic.net/thread/177/reactos-taskbar-win10-desktop-classicAs for Quero, IDK, I installed it and enabled it from View>Toolbars and it just...works. Tested it on W7, 10 Home 1709 and LTSB 2016, and it works with Explorer. Maybe it's not compatible with 8? I've not tried it on that.  I have a question, and very curious tho. What is that file explorer program? Something you compiled or...? :0 |
