Start Menu

[Thanos]

Does anyone know a way that I can get rid of ALL options from the Start menu except for Shut Down?

O.K, good one there. Right, try this ---

All these are in the same KEY
We'll start with the logoff - go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersio n\Policies\Explorer].
Create a new BINARY value there called "NoLogOff" and set it's data to read "01 00 00 00"
Now in the same Key, make another BINARY value called "NoRecentDocs" and set it's value to read "1"

Now, still under[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer], create another BINARY value called "NoFavoritesMenu", and set it's data to read "1"


Now another BINARY key called "NoFind", and set it's data to read "1"

Yet another BINARY value called "NoRun", and seet it's data to read "1"


Sorry mate, not sure about the help or settings commands.

Try "NoSettings" and "NoHelp" ?????

( all of these value names and data ofcourse have no hyphens ! )

And further...

NoHelp won't do the trick, Help is hardcoded in explorer.exe (learned that from jstolz I think), you can't remove it.

The Settings item is being removed by removing all the items that are under it. Same key, same settings (though most people prefer new Dword values), try these:

NoSetFolders (Control Panel ànd Printers)
NoSetTaskbar
NoFolderOptions
NoSetActiveDesktop
NoWindowsUpdate

Some of these only appear in Win 98.
