    Removing Start menu & button without 3rd party software.


    Ello,

    Trying to Remove the Start menu & button without any 3rth party software.

    Couldn't find anything in the google machine about people doing this without 3rth party software.

    I just want the explorer bar with any current running programs but no start menu or button.

    If you don't wanna use any 3rd party app, then your best bet would be to edit explorer.exe start menu buttons replacing them with an image of equal height and width as the taskbar strip so as to create a non-start menu buttoned taskbar effect.
    You can ask the members with GFX badge to make one for you under the latest iteration of custom start menu button thread under customization thread.
