kjason Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Hi~ there, I am trying to disable the start button in Windows vista. I want to stop start menu appearing when I click the "start button". I tried below. winsetstate ("start", "", @SW_Hide) However, it did not work. ( it works in Windows XP ) Is there any way to do it? Thanks for reading my question. Edited March 12, 2008 by kjason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeFry Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 If he has: WinSetState("Start Menu", "", @SW_DISABLE) somewhere in his code, then the start menu will be disabled too. The sound played when trying to click anywhere on the start-menu still plays though. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjason Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks all~~ especially FreeFry. I could disabled the start button and start menu. Still it makes the "ting" sound, whenever clicking the button. If you guys happen to know how to remove the sound then, please let me know. Thanks for your attention.
