    I prefer to use Start10, but I'm using StartIsBack++ because it can change the size of the icons. However, I prefer the start menu of Start10. I'm assuming that StartIsBack somehow modifies a registry setting to change the size of the icons, but I really don't know.

    Haven't used it in a long time. Does it allow you to increase the size of taskbar icons?

    StartIsBack uses a WinAPI call, not a Registry tweak.

    So, the icons will go back to small size if StartIsBack is closed? In other words, it has to be running all the time for the icons to be larger?

    I am looking for a way to hide the user account picture including the default picture on the login/sign in screen of Windows 10 1607. I do not want any user account picture here at all. I have done this in past by deleting default pictures in: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures, but this no longer works in Windows 10 1607. Apparently in Window 10 1607 the default user account picture (which in now semi transparent) is coming from some where else. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

    Nope Classic Shell's developer didn't add that feature because another freeware that completely handles everything related to the Taskbar added that option already. It's called 7+ Taskbar Tweaker and it is a freeware (unlike StartIsBack) to make taskbar icons bigger and tweak a whole lot of stuff with the taskbar. Very powerful app. :clap: Just like my other two favorite tools, Winaero Tweaker and Classic Shell.

    hb860, i am currently using Old Calculator and Old Task Manager on w10(not installed, just extracted them) and i am happy with them :) .

    i dont use Winaero Tweaker, i have a some questions/thoughts.

    i like stuff that can run portable, without installing. they are easy to add to a mounted image. can it be run portable?

    settings/tweaks, i want to create a tweak settings file than can be used on different windows installs. the tool could save as an ini file in the program folder, and/or have an export and import function for it.

    is any of this currently possible or a possibility for future versions? :)

    ps - does the tool need a .net? :)

    Hi dude well this night I make one study comparing M$ Dart 10.0 Tools X Boot options (inside of Winaero Tweaker 0.6.0.10) and conclude that Boot options is very very better than M$ Dart 10.0 Tools so I ask to you if is possible you make this amazing tool aside of Winaero Tweaker in this manner I can integrate it into MSMG Toolkit instead of M$ Dart 10.0 Tools when working with MSMG Toolkit ok maybe if possible are fantastic still don't need none media for example DVD because when user have some issue is simply: user start Windows normaly and when is show boot options only choose more adequate of course I hope that you can make "Super mini Tool" thanks in advance :) in time you rocks :p
