-------------------------------------Copied Information------------------------------------------------------------ To exit the Classic Shell's Start Menu manually, right click the Start button and click Exit. To exit it automatically (for use in scripts or a batch file), the cmd line switch is: "C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe" -exit In fact, terminating ClassicStartMenu.exe won't help. To exit properly, use the above method only. Other command line parameters are: -open (opens the Classic Start Menu) -toggle (toggles the state of the Start menu; opens it if it's closed and vice versa) -togglenew (toggles the Windows Start menu/Start screen) -settings (brings up the settings dialog) ----------------------------------------------End Copy-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I right click to EXIT. To restart Classic Start Menu in Windows 8 Start Screen, Click on "Classic Start Menu Settings". I added it to the Start page from the Apps page. At least that is what I do. I prefer not using command line anythings. If there is a better way without use the Command Prompt please let me know. Thanks, |

You don't need a command prompt. You can create a shortcut to ClassicStartMenu.exe with the parameters you need. That's how the shortcut "Classic Start Menu Settings" works. |

well it should be running automatically where all you need to do is click the start button (or right click for settings/exit) to restart it however you would need to click/run the ClassicStartMenu.exe Or restarting your computer. A program that starts itself back up when the user closes it is a virus

Well if you are comfortable with VBScript, paste the following into Notepad and save it as a .VBS file. Set WshShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run """%ProgramFiles%\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe"" -exit ", 0, True WScript.Sleep 4000 WshShell.Run """%ProgramFiles%\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe""" Then just run it whenever you want to restart Classic Start Menu. The cool thing is it won't show any console windows like other methods do (Command Prompt, PowerShell etc). |
