  1. Gosh, would I love to be able to do this, but it appears RPEnabled has been omitted in the newly released version. Any suggestions?

  2. Copy the below in NotPad

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
    "RPEnabled"=dword:00000001

    ; Change the Desktop with RPEnabled

    Then save it as Startmenu.reg and then run it.
