My Documents (Win2k)

[hammerjammer]

for some reason the My Documents folder is still on the start menu of one of my computers. i checked the registry and sure enough HK_CU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\ex plorer\ has dword value NoSMMyDocs=1

not sure why it still shows up...although it doesn't show on the desktop which is good

HJ, can you post your solution for the benefit of anyone else with a future problem?

[hammerjammer]

sure.

changes to folders that are automatically on the start menu (like help,my docs, run, etc...) usually take effect as soon as you hit f5. but after you've disabled right-click options on the start menu (by renaming/deleting HK_ROOT/folder and HK_ROOT/directory) you have to reboot your system first. after rebooting i wanted to know why the change suddenly took effect, so i ran a system process trace and found that there's an idle check when f5 is pressed (or any other process that refreshes the desktop) that calls to HK_ROOT/folder and HK_ROOT/directory.
