Settings - Folder Options

[gluer]

Here's one thats been bugging me and has prevented me from creating a perfect non-active desktop environment so that students can't mess with the desktop settings...

How do you remove the Folder Options from the Start-Settings Tab??

I have used all other D-Word values & have removed all except the Folder Options, which still enables kids to modify the Windows Style..

Argh...Some one help me with this...please..;-)

I don't know what you mean by "all other D-Word values"... because clearly, you haven't. You may want to say what you've done to assist us in better answering you, but regardless;

To remove all options under Start>Settings (including settings), browse the following list and enable those items that still appear in Settings. You'll need to reboot thereafter:
