Display Blogger Labels In A Drop Down Menu Gadget
Regain control of your sidebar, shrink the widget -by converting it into a dropdown (or is it a pulldown?) menu. Your labels widget size will be reduced to just one line! And only expand into a full list when you click it.
If you don’t have one, go to Design > Page Elements and add it.
Now let’s make the dropdown:
How To Create Dropdown Menu For Labels Widget
- 1. Go to Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML.
- 2. Back up your template.
- 3. Make sure you DO NOT tick the Expand Widget Templates checkbox.
- 4. Look for the following lines in your HTML code:
<b:widget id=Label1 locked=false
title=Labels type=Label/>
5. Replace that line with this code:
<b:widget id=Label1 locked=false
title=Categories type=Label>
<b:includable id=main>
<b:if cond=data:title>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class=widget-content>
<select style=width:100%
onchange=location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;>
<option>Click To Choose a Category</option>
<b:loop values=data:labels var=label>
<option expr_value=data:label.url><data:label.name/>
(<data:label.count/>)
</option>
</b:loop>
</select>
<b:include name=quickedit/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>- 6. If you want change the width of the drop down menu then change this value width:100% to any percentage, or pixel (px).
- 7. To change the phrase “Click To Choose a Category” then find this line Click To Choose a Category and replace it with your preferred phrase.
- 8. If you do not want to show post count at the end of each label then delete this line (<data:label.count/>) .

Displaying the Run Option in Start Menu
Displaying the Run Option in Start Menu
Start Menu Run option is not included as default feature in newer version of Windows. Probably the designers is comfortable and want to popularize the Start Search feature. Anyway, how to re-enable the option is easy…
Right Click the Taskbar > Properties > Start Menu Tab and Click “Customize…” button
Then, Click to check “Run command” to enable the option…
Using the Registry to Enable “Run…” item in Start Menu
You can also enable the option using Windows Registry if everything seems goes wrong e.g. the Taskbar hangs
So, open your Windows Registry (Win logo key + R) and type “Regedit” and go to the registry folder below
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced
Once you reach the folder, right-click > New > DWORD (32-bit) Value and use the value name “Start_ShowRun” and data as 1 as shown above.
Finally, Restart your computer afterwards…
That’s it!
