Start Menu

[GogNav]

Hi guys.

I have disactivated everything in the start menu (unfortunately, there is still the program icon). My problem is that when I install a new software/game, it appears in the start menu. Is there a way to permantely remove everyting, and make it impossible for new software to install their shortcuts??

Thanks

Hi, I'm having a similar problem with win2k. I need to remove the programs sub-menu from start, permanently. Unfortunately, erasing them in the profile (or in the start menu) only makes windows create new ones.

I actually need to disable user access to the local drive, which I've done everywhere except one place. Double clicking on the programs sub-menu will open that folder...and give the user full access to the drive.

The only other way is to completely disable the start menu, which would be annoying.

It works for double-clicking in the start menu, and probably everywhere else. No problems yet.
