yes ... right-click and select edit on the file ... that way you can see exactly what it will change in the registry.

this might be a better option? :

There's an app that allows customisation of that way beyond what MS allows, I can't remember the name off hand, someone else hopefully will.

I use Rainmeter

Your Favourite Open Source Software?

I've added the original and this fork. I could probably use NetAlertx or Pi.Alert at work. The reports and dashboards look quite decent The original is dead and not being maintained. Probably just list the maintained version and reference that it is a fork. The tool is excellent for inventory...

I gave this script a test. After you select your W11 version, you click on auto upgrade and from there on everything is automated. ... come back later to find yourself on the W11 desktop. Easy-Peasy :love:

Rainmeter is just widgets it doesn't do much tweaking of the Windows gui?

No it doesn't alter anything in the Windows GUI.

I have my Taskbar on auto-hide. With my Rainmeter setup I don't really use it. I generally just use the start button when I look for an app not set up in my dashboard setup in Rainmeter. The apps I regularly use is on the app list on the left.

The skin I am using currently has more items I can add like a vertical app list and other functions which I don't need.

The nice thing about this skin is that it has a settings dashboard you can use to create the button links. Other skins might not have that so you need to manually set it up in the resources/configuration files. You can edit it in notepad.

In recent years I've found myself almost never using the start menu, especially not for opening things, got most of what I need pinned to the task bar, set to start automatically at startup or on the desktop.

Might be a result of putting myself through the torture that was Windows 8.
Ran an instance if it in a VM a while ago for nostalgia sake, quickly remembered why I hated it, although the 8.1 update did fix most of it.
 
I must say, my normal install of Windows 11 seems all normal in everyday use and in gaming

But I have a AtlasOS install with so much MS bloatware and nonsense removed and it much nippier, even a very noticeable difference in gaming on my old obsolete hardware. Want to move over to it permanently but agh, such a schlep re doing and configuring everything.
