So this is a small but VERY annoying thing... I started working for a large company that has some group policy set (which overrides all local policies apparently) that prevents me from using anything but the windows xp classic menu.
I really miss my recently used app list from the start menu...
If I go to the Start Menu tab under properties, there is -only- the classic start menu button... and a big blank area above that where the xp menu selection used to be.
I have tried registry hacks (NoSimpleStartMenu set to 0), as well as group policy edits with gpedit.msc- no amount of tweaking or rebooting has gotten this back
Am I SOL? Is there anything I can do besides going to the IT department with a request? Maybe there a 3rd party app I could install that could replace my recently used apps list?
