Classic Start Menu By default.

[Vanessa_14]

How can you specify within the unattend.txt file to use the classic windows view rather than the regular XP look-alike view in windows 2003.

Many thanks!

I dont know the answer. But i believe you might get better response if you post this in to Windows forum

Hiya

In w23 unattend.txt there is an extra section as follows:

[Shell]
DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes
DefaultThemesOff=Yes

Thanks Simon,

But it seems only for the controlling the control pannal and the themes, but what about the classic start menu vieuw like we know from windows 2000?

Hi

DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes

This is the start menu with the quick launch bar referred as the 'Classic Start menu' works a treat for me.

Hi Boabab,

Refer to microsoft for unattent.txt parameters:

Thanks -- that's something I had been looking for and missed in the documentation.
