Dear De Pessemier An,

If you want to disable the start menu, you can use another shell.
 
The problem is we need to start and stop the explorer shell manually.
I've looked in the Taskmanager but the opion to start a process is missing.
Do you know which component i have to add?

Thanks,
 
An,

Are you talking about the Start menu bar at the botton of
screen or the actual menu that pops up when you
click "Start". If you're talking about the start menu bar
at bottom of screen, this can easily be done by writing a
small application. Use Spy++ to get window handle to
start menu bar (000200AA). In your small application, use
that handle and call ShowWindow(SW_HIDE).

Hi An,

Anyways just to know , Why do u wanna switch from the explorer sell
when you are using it.I guess the feature of Custom shell might help
you probably if my guess is right .
The Task Manager does allow to open a new process or application.You
might need to double check with the variances in the dependencies of
the same.
