What Killer? - What exactly does it kill, again?

@Sophos7: your trick didn't do it for me. Even after a reboot, Start menu still shows up. The only thing it disabled is the dropdown menu within the start menu, the one with the shutdown options.
(I have x64 Vista... but even applying the fix also to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{5b4dae26-b807-11d0-9815-00c04fd91972} node, it still doesn't work...)

@Yuri: all due respect for your fantastic work, I think this problem should be addressed. If it becomes a acknowledged feature of StartKiller, it should be optional.

See, I want to *kill* the start menu. I created my own start menu with TLB, am happy with it, and don't need the win start menu anymore.

I don't want it to show up every time my mouse moves a few little pixels to the left or to the bottom. It's annoying and it wastes my time.

Please, if it is feasible, solve this. Thanks

The batch registry edits were originally designed and tested only for Windows XP. Vista and 7 probably use different keys and may even be different from each other.
You'll have to do some searching around for the equivalent under Vista 64bit.
