How to hide windows start menu/button?

(1/2) > >>

sri:
Like most of you, I don't use the Start menu any more in my Windows XP (Thanks to Launchy and Direct Access).

Now I want to just get rid of the start menu and reclaim the space it takes up on the task bar. However I still want the win key to bring it up.

A google search took me to a program whose download link doesn't work (http://www.programurl.com/hide-start-button.htm).

Does anyone have ideas?

PhilB66:
You could achieve this with NirCmd

PhilB66:
Just remembered another post about WinLock. You could hide the Start Button with this one as well.

I use Start Killer from the makers of True LanuchBar.

LClock let's you hide the start button also. Unlike some other methods, with LClock, you don't get that empty space where the button was. Also, you can set it so you can click on the clock for the start menu.
