We're using temporary user accounts and when logging in, every time the classic start menu is restored.
The new two-column start menu is not blocked by policies. I can turn it on manually, but I want to do that automated: I want to force the new two-column start menu in Windows XP via a batch file (e.g. I'd need a command line tool, a VB script or a registry edit which does this).
1That would be a possible solution, but sadly I'm not the system administrator. E.g. I'm just a user which wants to set up its system correctly with one click after each log on. – Ray – 2012-05-04T17:24:12.340
