Taskbar Button Height Registry Hack
Dec 12, 2008
Vista Home Basic 32Bit Recently I downloaded a visual style Black by ~dimage on deviantART which I later removed as I didn't quite like it. The one thing I liked about the visual style is it had smaller taskbar button height. I have reverted back to the vista default visual style but wanted to know if its possible to reduce the button height using some advanced appearane setting or registry hack. I googled a lot and found this Change taskbar program button size which allows to change the button width not height. I have a screenshot of the buttons here, the left one is vista default visual style and the right with the custom visual style.

When I minimize a web page the respective taskbar button will replace the previous taskbar button. For instance if I minimize web page 1, I will get a button. but when I go to web page 2 and minimize it the button replaces the button for web page 1. The buttons are not stacked. Shouldn't I get a task bar button for each web page that is minimized so that I can retrieve particular pages as desired? The taskbar button feature seems to work when opening multiple programs as described in Vista Support, but it does not seem to function with multiple windows.

first enable the "Run" button in the start menu in the "Taskbar Properties". here's a work around to Activate Vista Build 5219, 5231, 5270, 5308, (or earlier) and later maybe... Start > Run > msconfig > Permit Folder "Services"
uncheck the "Software Licensing Service"
uncheck the "SL UI Notification Service"
Apply Close Restart Your machine will then tell you, this machine is unlicensed! If this does not work for you there is also a CD Key circulating around which allows you to activate. PM a member to find out. I Havnt tried this personally since I already activated my copy legally, if anyone could try it and report back. But from the peopel who have they say it works.

The new Service Pack 1 version of Windows Vista allows end users to purchase the "upgrade edition" and install it on any PC - with no need to purchase the more expensive "full edition."
The same behavior was present when Vista was originally released, but the fact that the trick wasn't removed from SP1 suggests that Microsoft executives approved the back door as a way to make the price of Vista more appealing to sophisticated buyers.
Previous Windows version not needed for upgrade
Just after Vista was first released to consumers on Jan. 30, 2007, an article in the Windows Secrets Newsletter explained that the upgrade edition of the operating system could be installed on a "clean" hard drive. For whatever reason, Vista had been programmed to accept itself as a "qualifying product." This eliminated any need for users to purchase the full edition of Vista or to upgrade Vista only over an older instance of Windows.

WARNING: only for advanced users who like to clean the registry. Quicksys regcleaner normally $25 free - only 4hrs left from here: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/
Win 7 compatible - have used this and deleted all 1200 entries it found. It makes a backup - been running for several hours and reboots with no probs. Also working fine so far on my Vista x64 and Win 7 x86 installs. After cleaning you need to shut the app. and reopen it for it to find it's backups. (Easy to find them by hand - it can compress them to.7z files, too ). Have used their regdefrag a lot - identical scans and results to the Auslogics and Glary versions- so use whichever defragger you already have. WARNING: not recommended to defrag registry across drives.

I am using this program to clean up my registry and it seems to work fine except the errors keep coming back. I can do a scan, clean up all the errors and then shut down and start up and I have a new 20 registry error list and most or all of the errors relate to "bad path for the value" and its windows files that seem to be at fault. I don't understand why Microsoft operating system would create registry errors on a startup, before anything has been installed etc. is RegistryBooster misleading me or what. I am running win7 but it did the same thing on vista home premium so I think the question is valid for this group.

I am using Vista Ultimate 32-bit and I want to add a 'new folder' button to the button bar in my folder view. I do a LOT of file relocation and I make new folders constantly and want a one-click solution. I searched the forums first but found no solution. Thank you in advance for the help. I am NOT looking for a right-click option or a menu add-on. I just want a button.

I just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. Everything I've read or
seen about it shows a round start button at the bottom. Mine has an XP-type
start button.

Even after shutting-down the PC, Start - Shut-down, a green light in the middle of the PC is still on, although the PC has been shut-down completely. I need to turn-off its light by pulling off power-cable connected with the PC. Does this indicate 'malfunction' light inside the PC?

You know how when you go to your shut down settings on the menu bar, they say sleep, shut down, and hibernate? Yeah, well, my hibernate button disappeared. How do I get it back?

When setting up e-mail I click on tools, then options. The screen is too
large and the apply button can't be seen. The bottom of screen can't be
seen.
How do I make the screen smaller so the apply button will be exposed?

Acer tech support said do a factory restore and the Vista Forum tutorial instructions didn't fix it.
BTW, I have Vista Home Premium X32, if that makes any difference.
I did install the "Vista Start Menu" freeware and it works, but I want the
original Vista Start button back, I got used to it.

I have a problem with the arrow next to the lock button. Half of it is missing. The only thing i have found was a reg hack to remove the lock button to allow more room for the arrow. The reg change did not work and messed up my mouse and keyboard along with no sound from media player. A system restore fixed everything. Has anyone had this problem with the arrow? See attachment.

Every now and again, a strange thing happenes to my start bar. It completely freezes, and I can't click anything on there apart from the start button. I can't select any tabs, or use the system tray. If that doesn't happen, sometimes the Start button decides to freeze instead. Basically it goes dark (like it does when it has been pressed) and then it stays like that and it won't let me open it.

I have windows Vista Home Premium that came installed in my computer. My Vista is not an ugrade and I am having the same "windows is not genuine" problem. I have access to nothing but the internet! No access to my start button or anything else. My computer screen is completely black except for the "windows is not genuine" window that pops up, which allows me to get on the internet.

Is there a way of shutting down or restarting without going via the Start button? I'm guessing that there are command line commands to do it? If so what are they and how do I get a command line prompt on the desktop without going via the start button again?

Can't believe Micro apparently forgot to enable that option. The button to the far left of your tabs, is a waste, for me, yet I can't seem to remove it in any way.

I am on a laptop and desperate for task bar estate. I know you could do this for XP, but it isn't the same for vista. I want to remove the start button. I would just use the Win Key to open my menu.

I am having problems shuting down Vista 1. edition. Whatever could be the cause of this nuisance? I have to push the reset button in the middle of the shuting down process in order to get the computer to respond. This results in black screen and Advanced Startup Options. Opting for Normal Mode will start up Vista ok, but it is really annoying to have to go via Advanced Options every time I am going to boot up.

I have just bought and installed Premium 64 bit. I noticed that there is a power button to the right of the menu, when you click on the windows icon on the bottom left. This only puts the pc in sleep mode. I know that if you click on the arrow to the right, that there is the option to shut down. My question is this: Can i change the off button that is on the menu, to actally shut down the pc?? Is there an option to do that.

I somehow turned off the giant close button, the one you see in windows explorer, the internet window, and in winmail. The only problem is I liked the giant close button. I think what I did is change the theme to classic, and then back to vista, and it gave me this rounded box as a close button. I was just wondering if there was any way to put it back the way it was. Here is a picture

I have an Italian version of windows vista, and so the keyboard and language settings are naturally in Italian. But for a particular music notation software I've just bought, I need to change my keyboard temporarily to English (U.S.).
English is installed by default as a second language on my pc, but for some reason there is no keyboard layout button on the task bar. How can I get the button to appear? (I have already followed the advice given on the Microsoft site, to no avail).

I installed them right and the slots all lined up right so i know they fit. but when i go to start it up, instead of beeping once after about 5 seconds after i hit the power button on, it takes about 2 seconds, the it goes beep beep and nothing comes up on the screen. I am very good with the software part of computers but the hardware i am litterally dumb as $h!t with.
