OK this is dead simple so i'll just place it all here.
This is all I did.
Open up VB. Create a new project, with no forms and just a module.
Then used this code
______________________________________________________________
Option Explicit
'Declare API Calls, because we don't have them as standard in VB
Private Declare Function SetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function Sendmessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare F

OK, Well that didn't work. WinCustomize is really pretty and all, but absoloutley full of bugs!
Guess there is a character limit or something!
OK If you add Chrisinbmth8Y!.co.uk to either YIM or MSN, then I'll send you the file.
Converting the 8 to an interesting symbol, and Y! to a well known to search engine.

Veeeeery strange working - if I have classic startmenu it is appearing next to docklet but I have it at the top of the screen, so I see only bottom part of startmenu. If I change to xp style menu it is appearing at the normal startmenu position - right above the start button (on the bottom).
Any thoughts?

you can go to your object dock properties and under dock contents choose hide taskbar.. that should hide it completely..
i hope thats what youre lookin for

I must say, this is one of my favorites so far. I didn't like the default start menu because all the objects are out of order from how I have them set. I'm the type of person, I HAVE to have my things organized and with this, it really helps. great job.

I'm having the same problem that ultragolf is/was having. I have the XP taskbar on autohide, and whenever I click the docklet to show the start menu, the XP taskbar becomes unhidden. Any fixes for this?
Other than that, this is an awesome docklet. I was looking for this exact same thing since I got ObjectDock. Thanks!

What exactly is the animation supposed to be? I'm using the icons that were linked-to in the latest version and they are (as far as I can tell) completely static. 
Useful docklet, though!

I'm having a problem like many others. I have my OBJDOCK on the top of my screen, but when I click the StartMenu Docklet button it pops up where the windows taskbar is.

Please anybody! I need help downloading this docklet. I only get 3 things in the folder when downloading this: 1)readme, 2)menuhook(a FUNC file), and 3)startmenu.dll. I followed the directions but nothing happens. I did the extract and everything, clicked on the dock and add, and there was nothing that says startmenu2 dock entry. I have windows XP SP2. I have the free version. I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me on this. Thanks.

I too have my dock with Startmenu at the top, and I get the menu (classic) hovering over the button OK (as it's supposed to) but only the last line is showing! In other words the top of the menu is off-screen... Hope Andreas still reads this!
Sounds like you need help installing rather than downloading - you got all there is to download
Make a directory under ObjectDock\Docklets (eg Startmenu) so: ObjectDock\Docklets\StartMenu and copy the above files into there. That's all I did to get "StartMenu 2.1..." entry in the OD "Add Entry" list. Maybe unload-reload OD if you don't get the entry straight away.

love it, but i am using the iskin them and it pops up the startup menu fine, no animation on the button, i have the docklet on the bottom, etc. and what i would really like is to position the start menu so it does not look so cut out. like pop it up in the left lower corner. hmmmm... i guess i could use something to skin just the bar into something better... what to do? well, thanks andreas for the continued great work!

Hey A-
I love the concept of the startmenu
. I need to get some info., though. When I click the ObjD "startmenu2" icon, I can see where the start menu pops up but it's completely transparent 
. But, when I click the "start" button on the taskbar and then click the "startmenu2" icon on OD, it shows correctly over the "startmenu2" icon. How do I fix this?
Again, awesome work...
Thanks
DesJay

I've used the code someone submitted
and extended it a little, and becuz I'm a VB freak did it in VB as opposed to C++
Dim cursorPosition As POINTAPI
Call GetCursorPos(cursorPosition)
Call SetWindowPos(FindWindowEx(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", ""), 0, "Button", ""), HWND_TOP, cursorPosition.X, cursorPosition.Y, 101, Y, 0)
Call SetForegroundWindow(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", ""))
Call Sendmessage(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", ""), WM_USER + &H104, 0, 0)
and then made an executable and plonked it on my objectDock...
and low and behold i have a start menu which doesn't do the double thingy (Win2k tested only)
I'd make it into a docklet... only i haven't got the time to work out how it works at the mo. and this does what i want...
but I thought.
Anyho... I dunno if your interested in the code or the executable...
