Removing QuickMenu from QuickMenu
 

I'm started using QuickMenu 2.7 a few days ago and I love it. The only thing I've had a problem with is that I can't get remove the QuickMenu item from the root of the menu. When I go to "Options" --> "Menu Items", and uncheck QuickMenu (which is under "Favorites"), and click OK, it remains on the menu. And when I go back in, QuickMenu is checked. Anyone know what the problem is. It's not a huge deal, but I can have it setup to bring up the QuickMenu items when I do a "long press" on the start menu logo, so it's not necessary to have it on the menu.

Another thing I'd like to be able to do is get the battery meter to be in the middle of the task bar rather than in the top right corner, but I doubt that's possible.

Well, I figured out a way to do this on my own. I can't believe what I did works, but it does.

Basically, all it took was modifying this registry value:

HKCU/Software/AlenSoft/QuickMenu/MenuItems/TopItems

The value is 48 bytes long. There are 12 menu items available in quick menu, so I figured that each item maps to 4 bytes in this value. The way I originally had my menu configured, the following value was shown:

00 04 01 00 - today
00 00 01 00 - line
d0 07 01 00 - running programs
00 00 01 00 - line
fd 03 00 01 - recent programs
fc 03 01 00 - favorites
f2 03 01 00 - quick menu
00 00 01 00 - line
01 04 01 00 - programs
06 04 01 01 - settings
02 04 00 00 - frequenters
00 00 00 00 - line

By moving the quick menu item up and down the list through quick menu's options, and seeing how it affected this registry value, I was able to verify that the quick menu item was f2 03 0x 00. I put in the "x" because that digit would change from a zero, when I had the item unchecked in the options, to a 1, when I had it checked (even though the item would show up on the menu regardless). I also noticed that the "lines" change between 00 00 01 00 (checked) and 00 00 00 00 (unchecked).

So all I did to get rid of the quick menu item was replace f2 03 01 00 with 00 00 00 00. So now quick menu thinks it's an unchecked line. I probably could have just removed the 4 bytes altogether, but this works fine, so I'm leaving it.

Nice work, I've been using Quickmenu forever, and always wanted to get rid of it, but never thought twice about it. Thanks.

Can someone assist with this error: Cannot delete QuickMenu: there has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use.

Run Qmenu scroll to Quickmenu and then Exit. You can then delete it after that.
