How to select "Classic Start Menu" via WMI/API

Hi All,

We are trying to build an automation utility to configure OS. I found a way
to automate the process below via registry:

Control Panel -Taskbar and Start Menu ->Start Menu Tab
--Select "Classic Start Menu". Click Apply. Click OK

HKEY_CURRENT_US ER\Software\Mic rosoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explor er
DWORD Value name Value Data
NoSimpleStartMe nu 1

But may I ask for anyone who could help me find a way to automate in C# the
process above via WMI/API?

Thanks in advance!

I have a Mobile Pocket PC app written in .NET, I notice that Explorer and other programs, when running, show up on the Start menu right below Start and right above Today in a list of icons on that line. My .NET app doesn't show up automatically, so I am wondering how I can get it to show up in that quick pick list (my term) area.

I have a form that I choose from a list of database names and a list within a textbox comes up with the computer ID number and an associated (from a table) user name.

Please look at the below code and tell if I can...

I have VB.NET 2005 Express Edition. Is there a VB.NET equivalent to the "classic" VB's DoEvents? I searched the VB.NET Help & had no luck. In "classic" VB, DoEvents was used in code that might lock up the PC. Thank you. David

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
