What about it ? It doesn't tell me how to enable the new menu. It tells me how to create a junction using an old, unnecessary program.

Thanks, I really like this program. How do you fancy sorting out my folder background problem? You cant change the folder background image in win7 like you can with some apps that work only for Vista. You seem bright and I'm not!

Well, I'm sorry.

Only trying to help.

Look over the threads at the bottom of this page.

No need to apologize, any help appreciated. What I gather from the discussions here is that Windows 7 only supports one type of start menu, called the New Start Menu. Sort of like "The New World Order". All I can see however is the old one. Maybe I'm missing something here ?

The XP style menu is what we're calling the "new menu", as it's new compared to the classic menu.

Could you post a screenshot of your start menu?

I see. "New" as in "Cairo is newer than Ur" or something along those lines. This whole discussion gave me the impression that there was something really new as in "it isn't there in previous versions of Windows". In that case I'm surprised by the number of people who've never seen it before as it's been the default menu since the beginning of this century.

Yes, full localization should be working, thanks to unawave who helped me get this sorted .

I will be posting a version with an installer, so everything should work out of the box soon.

As much as I'd like to help, I'd have no idea where to begin... the start menu that I've written really isn't complex, it's just a few labels and pictures . Sorry!
