Additional Windows Menu hotkey

Enter an additional hotkey for opening the Windows start menu.

The base value is the main key's virtual code. Add 256 for Shift, 512 for Control and 1024 for Alt.
The best way to get the value is to select the hotkey in the Classic Start Menu settings dialog and then look up the value named WSMHotkey in HKCU\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings

If you set the state to 'Locked to this value', the setting will be locked to the specified value for all users.

If you set the state to 'Locked to default', the setting will be locked to the default value for all users. The specified value is ignored.

If you set the state to 'Unlocked', the default value for the setting will be changed to the specified value. Individual users can override the setting.

Supported on: Requires Classic Shell 4.0.4 or later. Requires Internet Explorer 9 or later.
