"Customize Classic Start Menu" [Clear] freezes...

XP Home SP3+

The "Customize Classic Start Menu" window, when I click the [Clear] button,
to clear the list of recently accessed documents, causes that menu box to
stop responding, and I end up clicking the top right x and then clicking
the "End Now" button, and then the Desktop reloads.

I've tried two registry fixes from Kelly's corner which didn't fix it,
"Start Button and Taskbar repair," and re-registered the *.dll's for
explorer .exe
...and I ran a shell repair ...no go !

Have been trying all day to track down the source of atdmt cookies that
keep appearing, having tried all sorts to block them, have a feeling I
shall end up posting a hjt log somewhere soon.

Any thoughts muchly appreciated,

I'm off to bed !

regards, Richard

Try my Explorer Shell Fix tool. Download it here http://www.ms-mvp.org/ if
that does not work then see if CCleaner will clear it

This is not the MVP site despite its fake logos.

The correct MVP site is http://www.mvps.org/.

Thank you for your timely response. Been sitting here three weeks just
wondering whether or not to trust that site.

You can go to whatever site you want but you will only find my fix tools
here http://www.ms-mvp.org on my MVP site.

Will it be any safer if I wait another three weeks?

What does MVP stand for?

I'm always suspicious of websites where the English is poor, punctuation is
weird, and words are unnecessarily capitalized. Also, there seems to be no
mention of who the woman is whose photo appears on the site and on the blog.
Anybody who does this for a living, especially if they're an MS MVP would
surely list their name.

If you're such a hotshot, why don't you post your name, contact information,
or even a valid address. I'm sorry, but "void.com" is not good enough. Post
some VALID qualifying information. Any REAL Microsoft MVP posts their true
identity and a way to reach them.

I also note that the downloads on your site point to numbered, servers that
don't resolve to any names or locations. This is not a good sign, either.

In short, I wouldn't trust your website for any pupose.

Microsoft Valuable Pig. Pig-Bear is one such example; Other is Susie

herself now.

Participants in the Microsoft MVP program have worked hard to develop a
history of trustworthiness. It somehow seems fitting that TRT would try
to use the hard work of others to further its own agenda, since this is
also how it gets its programs (claiming others' work as its own).

Regarding the "poor English" - much of the *best* technical information
on the net is written in broken English.
