  1. Insert Separator into Open Shell Start Menu?


    Windows 10 20H2 I'm not sure how to check the version number of Open Shell that's running on my system. In the help file it says "Version 4.3.1 general release." I'd like to insert a separator line into the Open Shell Start Menu. I was warned against posting in the Open Shell forum by dalchina's post from back in January, 2019, so I'm hoping someone here knows the trick to doing this. Will in Seattle a.k.a. "Clueless"

    I installed Open Shell 4.4.142. No change.

    Any other suggestions?

    Mouse Hover (under Control Tab) does nothing. I hover over the W10 Start menu icon and nothings happens.

    Then I changed all options to Open-Shell Menu. Nothing changes.

    I want the W10 start menu icon replaced by the Open Shell menu like it worked for classic shell in W7.
    I do not even want to see the W10 start menu.

    Any other suggestions?

    I have these set - you need to log out and in for the changes to apply.

    I tried all those options you suggested and it stopped showing the Open Shell menu completely.

    I think you mean I should tick the options button for Open Shell menu and not the Windows shell menu. Which is what I did before and still no change. I have to click the W10 menu button, then wait for the Open Shell menu button, then click that and then I get the menu.

    Still, I only want the Open Shell menu to appear on both task bars on either screen.

    Bytheway
    - why do your screen dumps say Classic Start menu when mine say Open Shell menu.
    - Plus I do not use login/logout, I reboot.
    - Plus none of these options say to hide the W10 menu incon

    Any other thoughts?
