Classic Shell ist ja immer noch eines der beliebtesten Startmenüs die eingesetzt werden, um das Feeling von Windows 7 wiederzubekommen.
Gestern gab es beim Startmenüersatz für Windows 8.1 / 8 Classic Shell ein dickes Update.
Dabei wurden nicht nur Fehler behoben, sondern auch neue Features mit eingebaut.
Offiziell heisst es: This release contains new administrative settings and multiple compatibility fixes.
Im Endeffekt ist die Changelog um einiges länger.
Ein Auszug:
● Full Group Policy support for Classic Shell’s settings. ADMX files for tweaking all Classic Shell settings are in C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\PolicyDefinitions.zip. You must extract the ADML and ADMX files to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions folder. If you have Active Directory domain, extract the files to %logonserver%\sysvol\%userdnsdomain%\policies\PolicyDefinitions\. Hidden (registry-only) settings not exposed in the Settings UI are also supported in Group Policy.
● All EXEs and DLLs now have a digital signature
● New hidden settings FolderStartMenu, FolderCommonStartMenu, FolderPrograms and FolderCommonPrograms to override the path to the Start Menu folders and redirect them. These hidden settings are present as a Group Policy setting too.
● New hidden registry settings ProgramsWidth and JumplistWidth to control the width of the Windows 7 style menu (the default value is 40). These hidden settings are present as a Group Policy setting too.
● New hidden setting „ShutdownW7“, where you can list what commands you want to see in the Shutdown menu for Windows 7 style. This hidden setting is present as a Group Policy setting too.
● New hidden setting „DisablePinExt“, which hides the „Pin to Start Menu (Classic Shell)“ context menu item. This hidden setting is present as a Group Policy setting too.
