| Post subject: | "Classic Start Menu Settings" won't launch??? |
Versions 4.2.1 & 4.2.4 Server 2012 R2 I installed this last year on 4 boxes without issue, and recently installed it in a Win8.1 image without issue, however today I can not get the settings to come up on any of my 3 servers. I launched it as admin, disabled UAC, tried the latest build, uninstalled / reinstalled, etc. and no dice. The ‘EnableSettings’ regkey does not yet exist, this is an out of box install of Server 2012 and Classic Start. The only feature I have installed is the Classic Start Menu, none of the other options. Any tips? |

How are you trying to access the settings? |

From the Start Menu, or by launching the shortcut from the install directory that is just the standard executable with the -settings flag. Going to try again after applying Windows Updates. |

Do you see "Settings" when you right-click on the start button? |

Installed all critical and optional updates and it's still not launching "settings". When I right-click the Start Menu, I see ==Classic Start Menu==, Windows Explorer, Open, Open All Users, Help, and Exit. |

That means Settings is disabled. Check your Registry at HKLM\Software\IvoSoft branch and also check for any Group Policies which may have disabled settings. |

I only have the ClassicShell key with 'DefaultLanguage', 'Path', 'Version', and 'WinVersion'. That is a good point though, I will do a clean install on a VM disjoined from the domain so I can compare. I do manually set ‘EnableSettings’ = 0 after install and config though. |

Yes, the settings are disabled on purpose somehow. Download the Classic Shell Utility from here: http://www.classicshell.net/downloads/ Run it, select the option to save the system log and send it to me. |
