[Help] Start button button?

Is there any way I can have a button (probably with AveDesk) that will drop down the start button menu?...I'm trying to ditch the taskbar alltogether.

I have searched but I suppose it's a bit of an odd request...thanks peeps.

Start Menu Docklet by Ave

I'm not trying to be a smart-ass but why not use the winflag key (if your keyboard has one - not all do).

Just a suggestion. Also, I believe there are some docklets that will bring up the Start Menu as well.

Take care,

Mike

Perhaps a method to simulate the windows flag key being pushed? Similar to the oft-discussed method of starting Konspose/HUD mode/Showcase using a dock shortcut. You know how to find it .

You'd just need to find the identifier for the Windows flag key, I suppose.

-NC

Thanks guys...nc, you got it. I will find win flag identifier.

It's actually not that odd of a request.

i found three other threads that discuss this.

Two slighty Different VBScript mentioned here, that will launch the start menu

There's an app called WinKey mentioned here (you'll have to google it for a mirror, the site is down)

and probably what will best suit your needs,

a program called PressStart, linked from here

If you are using RK launcher you can use the YzDocklet Startmenu (youll need to select the docklet as Yzdocklet within RK launcher)

Just click on Operating system and Startmenu v1.0.0

This creates the Start Menu where you clicked the icon on the dock, not where it is default, so it looks much better this way.
