Hi,
your option "Disable Start Menu" also not disable the start menu in Windows 2008 (R1).
I can click at the left border (corner) and a start menu poped up. Also if I have an empty taskbar, I can click under the "hidden" startbar, if my taskbar has the double height and the menu popup.
For me its not a feature, because I searching for a software that disable the start button AND any start menu popup.
Please can you take a look at it? If anyone wants this as a "feature" you can add another option: "Open Start Menu by clicking in the corner of the taskbar."
-------------------------------
I try it by myself with FindWindow("Button", "Start") --> EnableWindow(false) --> ShowWindow(False)
but it still popup the start menu once. (And then never, but I need it under no circumstances.)
With MS Spy I seems that the start menu in W2008 is outside the "Shell_TrayWnd" (Taskbar window) and if I make it invisible there is another only "bitmap" that shows the button inside the "Shell_TrayWnd". And, thats the problem, "Shell_TrayWnd" responds to clicks in this area (not only the bitmap, also under the bitmap, if you double your taskbars height.
Maybe you find a way to disable all "start menu" popups? Thany for your help.
Kind regards
