Damn.... this thread is sooooo oooollllddd. Anyway, sorry for not replying sooner...
umm honestly Franko, the second one was designed to scare those that do not know
what they are doing. Like I said, you can really mess up windows if you don't know
what you are doing while inside of regedit. Needless to say, the reg file will work
and is VERY safe. Justin's fix only changes the amount of delay before it displays
the menu.... Mine makes it so that all the residual junk data is removed. (which
seems to be the source of most of these people's problems.) Basically, if your Hard
disk goes nuts while your start menu is trying to display... this is most likely
your problem.
I hope that this helps you.
