Removing the Main Menu

[Aezay]

I remember a thread, where someone wrote how to hide the main menu, but I can't find it by searching.
Then I tried to set Config -> Language -> Main Menu to an empty MNU file, but that didn't work, beacuse it still displays the Start menu.
So my question is how do you hide/remove the main menu?

Hi!
Wha! This is a good question to Christian Ghisler, I think!
I didn't find any command having "hide" something in the file <totalcmd.inc>
But since I'm optimistic, I go to draw an icon for this!
Hoping for a positive reply...

Then I must have had a dream, because I remember a thread where someone told how to remove the main menu.
The thing is that I rarely uses the main menu, only keyboard shortcuts, so I would like to simplify the look of TotalCmd some more.

Please, tell us if you can't get away from it with Delphi2™ ?
{ DREAM } Ah! A rewrite of TC in a newer Delphi™ ....

Here is how you can remove the main menu:
[1]. Create an empty .mnu file, and select the same in Language tab sheet of the configuration Page.
[2] Remove all the user created menu entries in the wincmd.ini file (i.e remove complete [user] hive/section)
[3] Add RestrictInterface=1 In the wincmd.ini file.

Restart TC ....You should see a denuded TC...

Ha! I knew I wasn't dreaming this, thanks

Thanks, really nice tip!

Maybe Christian may consider to include this on TC so that we will be able to hide/show main menu bar with a keyboard shortcut.

Happy 2k4 for all TC fans.
