#301 | Could be .. I don't have Java and don't want/need it. To bloated and security risk for me.
I like runnin mean and lean ..
I like messin in the reg but try and make sure I have a current backup first. Also you can export whatever your messin with so if you mess up just merge it back.
I've done this once or twice by not messin with the wifes work computer so I can export whatever if I forget to do it first on my rig. | | Distinguished Member with 2,261 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Western Canada Experience: Windows Millennium only |

This is a link to a comprehensive list of MS articles on the Registry which may help those interested: http://aumha.org/win4/kbreg.php
"Lean and mean" is my preference entirely but then I have this addiction to freewares and candy...

Can you, using it, duplicate the Start Menu and extension as in my gif below. If so please post the steps you took. I reverted to Hoversnap for the gif. |
... you're from the Dark Side aren't you .....
I'm not sure if this is what you wanted to see.
However, it can't be done with a "grabber" program (as you knew all along) because the Windows "Start Menu" closes as soon as you shift focus to the grabber's window. It had me puzzled till I remembered ....
Open the "Start Menu" to where you want and then ...
... Press the PrtSc button. This places an image of the whole desktop into the clipboard.
Open your favorite graphics program which can save images in gif (or bmp or jpg ) format, and Paste.
Save the image and Presto!
